A latrine (from Latin lavatrina a privy) is a structure (usually small; holding a single person) for defecation. Defecation is the final act of Digestion by which organisms eliminate solid semisolid or liquid Waste material ( Faeces) from the Digestive tract Latrines allow for safer and more hygienic disposal of human waste than open defecation. Human Waste is Suffocation's debut EP released by Relapse Records. They are used in rural areas and low-income urban communities, with significant use in the developing world. Rural areas can be large and isolated (also referred to as "the country" and/or "the countryside over the course of time Developing countries are countries that haven't reached Western-style standards of democratic government free market economy industrialization social programs and human rights guaranties Many variations exist, but at its simplest, the reason for using a latrine is that waste is controlled and decomposed into safer by-products. Decomposition (or spoilage) refers to the break down of tissue of a formerly living Organism into simpler forms of matter

Latrine is also a term common in the US Military, specifically for the Army and Air Force for any point of entry facility where human waste is disposed of, which a civilian might call a bathroom or toilet, regardless of how modern or primitive it is. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the A military is an Organization authorized by its Nation to use force usually including use of Weapons in defending its Country (or by attacking An army (from Latin Armata "act of arming" via Old French armée) in the broadest sense is the land-based Armed forces An air force, also known in some countries as an air army or historically an army air corps, is in the broadest sense the national military or armed service A bathroom is a room that may have different functions depending on the cultural context A toilet is a Plumbing fixture and disposal system primarily intended for the disposal of the bodily wastes: Urine and fecal matter.

Types

Many forms of latrine technology have been used in the past, from utterly simple to more sophisticated, while newer developments show promise using ecological sanitation (EcoSan). Ecological sanitation, also known as ecosan or eco-san, is a new paradigm in sanitation that recognises human excreta and household wastewater not as waste but as

Some different types and technologies regarding latrines are:

• Pit toilets, or pit latrines, are the simplest and cheapest type, minimally defined as a hole in the ground. A pit toilet or compost toilet is a method of collection of Human waste used for Composting controlled decomposition, or Waste disposal The most basic improvement is installation of a floor plate. A dry pit does not penetrate the water table, while a wet pit does. The water table is the level at which the ground water pressure is equal to Atmospheric pressure.

• A Ventilated Improved Pit (VIP) Latrine is one that reduces two of the most common problems with a simple pit latrine: odor and fly/mosquito breeding. True flies are Insects of the Order Diptera ( Greek: di = two and pteron = wing possessing a single pair of Mosquitoes are insects in the family Culicidae. They have a pair of scaled wings a pair of Halteres, a slender body and long legs Adding a ventilating pipe is the key improvement of the ventilated improved pit latrine. Ventilation is the intentional movement of Air from outside a building to the inside See Pit toilet.

• The Double-vault Ventilated Composting Latrine is currently the most advanced, free-standing latrine. Apart from offering significant reduction in risk from waterborne disease, this type of ecological sanitation provides the closure of some nutrient cycles by allowing the safe, composted waste to be used as a "free" soil treatment in agriculture. Waterborne diseases are caused by Pathogenic Microorganisms which are directly transmitted when contaminated Drinking water is consumed Ecological sanitation, also known as ecosan or eco-san, is a new paradigm in sanitation that recognises human excreta and household wastewater not as waste but as Compost (ˈkɒmpɒst or US /ˈkɒmpoʊst/ also known as brown manure is the aerobically decomposed remnants of Organic matter.

• A water privy uses a watertight tank that receives the waste and sends it to an underground seepage pit or drainage area.

• "Flying latrines" refers to plastic bags used as toilets in African slums, so named because after being filled, "you throw them as far away as you can. "^[1] This has led to the banning of the manufacture and import of such bags in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. The Republic of Uganda is a Landlocked country in East Africa. The Republic of Kenya is a country in East Africa. It is bordered by Ethiopia to the north Somalia to the northeast Tanzania to the south Tanzania ˌtænzəˈniːə officially the United Republic of Tanzania (Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania is a country in East Africa bordered by Kenya ^[1]
• Reed Odourless Earth Closet (ROEC) is an improvemet of VIP latrine. Reed odourless earth closet is a variation on the ventilated improved pit (VIP Latrine. Common in southern Africa.
• Pou r-Flush Latrine
• Cistern-Flush Toilet
• Bucket Latrine
• Pour-Flush Toilet and Vault.
