Several interventions have proven effective in improving sanitation and public health:
- Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS): Encourages communities to collectively eliminate open defecation by constructing and using toilets. - Improved Sanitation Facilities: Building and maintaining toilets, septic tanks, and sewage systems. - Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) Programs: Integrating safe water supply, sanitation facilities, and hygiene education to reduce disease transmission. - Wastewater Treatment: Ensuring that wastewater is treated before being released into the environment to prevent contamination.
