title: Improved Method of Human Excreta Disposal in Field Area.
abstract: Sanitary disposal of human excreta in field area in semi permanent camps established by the Armed Forces personnel is extremely important to ensure hygiene and sanitation of these camps. The existing method of constructing deep trench latrines (DTLs) has several practical problems. An improved method of constructing DTLs has been evolved, tested and tried by an Infantry Division. This method of human excreta disposal has a greater acceptability among the troops.
