Let me first state that I am not a sanitation engineer or a hydraulics engineer
but this is a
subject that interests me greatly. Over the years, mostly in foreign
countries I have observed how effluent from leaky septic tanks and
soak pits make their way down to the water table and

Was just wondering about this: could anyone tell me why septic tanks
are considered risky along the Goan coastline? Is it because of the
nature of the soil there, the overuse of these disposal systems, or
some other reason? Are septic tanks looked on favourably in other
parts of the globe? Maybe

RESPONSE: Perhaps the threat of E-coli [1] in water and sand.
Probably gets worse in warmer temps.
