Buenas tardes por este lado del globo.

Una vez más estoy trabajando con un documento relacionado al tema de agua y saneamiento, pero esta vez más enfocado en saneamiento. Les comparto un extracto del documento:

Types of existing sanitation sytems

Unlined pit latrines: Pit (all types), never emptied but abandoned when full and covered with soil, no **outlet or overflow**, where there is a significant risk of groundwater pollution.

Flush toilets with septic tanks with concrete walls and gravel filter on the bottom with no outlet or overflow: Lined tank with impermeable walls and open bottom, no **outlet or overflow**, where there is a significant risk of groundwater pollution.

75% of households have concrete septic tanks with impermeable walls and open bottoms with no **outlet or overflow**; of these 25% are emptied but the faecal sludge is not delivered to a treatment plant but rather dumped outside of the city limits .

Alguna sugerencia al respecto, considerando que en todos los casos se trata de letrinas/inodoros ubicadas en áreas rurales.

sin desagüe ni rebosadero
Explanation:
En el contexto de letrinas diría que se refiere a desagües y rebosaderos, pero se trata únicamente de una suposición de sentido por contexto.

Sin descarga ni sobreflujo


Explanation:
There is not other answer that ...sin descargas ni sobreflujos ...so that discharges remain in the same place. There are not flow lines to go ahead.
