Revision history [back]

First, you have flooding in the Shire and Zambezi valleys every 3-5 years. Will the camp be used again and on what time frame.

Some materials can be recovered and recycled. Pipes are often buried at a shallow depth, so they can sometimes be recovered with little effort.

Latrine pits can remain a hazard for years to come. Filling them in is the best approach. Trees planted near latrines often grow well.

Plastic sheeting (for latrine walls etc) is often the biggest problem. It was certainly the biggest problem in Kibeho in Rwanda. Plastics can release dioxins if burned at low temperatures. Burying it may be more appropriate.
