Most of yesterday was spent in transit and when not in transit, we were talking shit - quite literally.
I have a project in UP and the soil here is silty-clayey, which means it doesn't absorb much water. The regular sanitation solution in the area is to take all the water and to throw it in a water body. Our site is low lying and that isn't really possible so what do we do?
We considered recharging but the water table is high in the area and we run the risk of contaminating the aquifer.
So far the idea evolved involves household level pre-treatment and percolation in the top layer. Again this is doubtful because we're not sure all the water will get absorbed by the top layer.
This is still a work in progress.
