    Lack of appropriate sanitation facilities in flood-prone and high-water table areas of Bangladesh is one of the important contributing factors for health and environmental degradation. In flood-prone areas, overflow of pit latrines during flood pose a high health risk. The major problems of sanitation in flood-prone areas are surface water contamination and loss of accessibility to the latrine during flood. The main problems of sanitation in coastal areas of Bangladesh are loss of latrine capacity and groundwater contamination due to high-water table. The present research looked for appropriate sanitation technologies as well as strategies and policies related to health promotion, personal hygiene practices, community involvement, socio-economic conditions and custom, culture and people’s belief
