Abstract

This bachelor thesis focuses on the impacts of pit latrines on groundwater quality. Impacts of pit latrines on groundwater quality associated with microbiological and chemical contamination of groundwater are the main concerns. Apart from this, those contaminants could be transported by runoff to surface water because of the geographic condition of the land area of the 1st sub-district. Therefore, there is important to study for assessing the current situation.
