Available sanitation technologies for rural and peri-urban Africa Morgan, P. (2007)

The presentation allows for a good overview on existing types of pit latrines, but also on other types of sanitation technologies such as the conventional flush toilet, the pour flush toilet, and the urine diversion dehydration toilet (UDDT).
