Abstract |
In India, over one-fourth of urban households lack a private toilet and there is an evident lack of hygienic facilities in public places. Communal facilities are essential, not simply as a convenience to travellers and shoppers, but as the only possible means of providing access to sanitation in crowded slums, characterized by small plots and little open space. |
