Proposed sanitation for a timber house constructed on water

One of the problems causing a threat to public health is the sanitation system of timber houses built in water. The sanitation systems of these houses unfortunately dispose wastes directly into the natural water bodies, since the houses are not actually equipped with the proper sanitation system for...
