Abstract

This study aimed to review the damage to sanitation facilities during floods. It also explored the possibilities of overcoming the negative impacts of floods on sanitation. The study was conducted among 880 households from selected eight flood affected areas of BRAC WASH programme. Two unions having high sanitation coverage from each of these districts were selected. One village from each of these unions was selected that was affected by flood and had at least fifty five households. Households with latrines having at least 3 rings and 1 slab were selected for the study. [RED WP No. 7]
