treatment, Sludge can either be used in agriculture (D.5) or brought to a Storage/Disposal site (D.12).

===Considerations===

This system should be chosen only where there is either enough space to continuously dig new pits or when there is an appropriate way to empty, treat and dispose of the faecal Sludge. In dense urban settlements, there may not be sufficient space to access a pit for desludging or to make a new pit. This system is, therefore, best suited to rural and peri-urban areas where the soil is appropriate for digging pits and absorbing the leachate. It is not recommended for areas prone to heavy rains or flooding, which may cause pits to overflow.
