Raw Data Collation and Analysis of Sludge and Pit Latrine Characteristics from the Sanitation Research Fund for Africa (SRFA) – a project funded by the WRC aiming at provision of a uniform data base from the raw data on faecal sludge properties and on-site sanitation systems from the SRFA project. It is expected that this database will support researchers, practitioners, design engineers and decision makers in the field of FSM.  The project lead of this grant was Dr Velkushanova and the work was undertaken with the support of other support of Research Assistant from the PRG – Mr Nigel Chikore and Dr Bhekumuzi Gumbi, and research students.
