Discuss infrastructure placement
Food facilities should be placed 100 yards uphill, upwind and upstream from latrines and 30 yards from garbage and soakage pits.
Latrines–100 yards downhill, downwind, and downstream from food facility | 100 feet from water sources | at least 50 ft from living/sleeping area
Garbage/soakage pits: 30 yards from food facility
Sleeping/living quarters–minimum of 50 feet from latrines
How many latrines for human waste?
Depends on the latrine and the environment.
Rule of thumb: 4 seats per 100 for males and 6 seats per 100 for females
If 200 females, 12 toilet seats
If 400 males, then 16 toilet seats
