Implications of inappropriate containment on urban sanitation and environment: a study of Faridpur, Bangladesh
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:11 authored by Rafiul Islam, Uttam K. Saha, Abdullah Al Mamun, Noemie De La Brosse, Lucy StevensSeveral initiatives have been undertaken by agencies to tackle the second generation sanitation challenge
of safe management of faecal sludge. A situation analysis of an on-going initiative identified
inappropriate containment at source is one of key problems, with multiple implications for people’s
access to decent, safe sanitation and for the environment. Inappropriate containment is the manifestation
of the lack of knowledge, guidelines, awareness at the city level and has not been prioritised in the rush
to achieve basic sanitation coverage. As a result, urban dwellers constructed intermediate solutions to
containment and sludge management which pollute the overall environment. The current study of
Faridpur city will shows the impact of inappropriate containment on sanitation and the environment in
Faridpur, Bangladesh.
