breathablepitlat

DOI

The goal of breathablepitlat is to demonstrate the transport of contaminants from two pour flush, twin-pit latrines in which one pit is lined and one is unlined.

Installation

You can install the development version of breathablepitlat from GitHub with:

Data

The package provides access to one dataset breathablepitlat.

breathablepitlat

The dataset breathablepitlat contains data about … It has 3132 observations and 8 variables

  gt::as_raw_html()
site depth lateral time test location values num_test
1 1 1 0 pH P2.A 7.62 TRUE
1 1 1 0 pH P2.B 7.62 TRUE
1 1 1 0 pH P2.C 7.62 TRUE

For an overview of the variable names, see the following table.

variable_name variable_type description
site integer There are two sites for the field test: site 1 and site 2. A twin-pit pour-flush pit latrine was constructed at each site.
depth double The soil samples were collected at two different depths (1 m and 0.5 m) from ground level.
lateral double The soil samples were collected from 0.5 m , 1 m, 5 m and 10 m lateral distance away from the pit.
time double This describes the time (in days) of sample collection. The water and soil samples were collected over a period of 322 days.
test integer The 6 parameters tested from the samples collected in this field test. They include pH, electrical conductivity, total coliform, nitrate, ammonia, and phosphorus.
location integer The location of the soil samples marked P1 for unlined and P2 for lined pit. A, B, C, D, E, F are locations around the pits while M is the middle point between the lined and unlined pit.
values double The values measured for said parameter
num_test logical The values measured for said parameter

Example

Geographical location of the study site. The village locates in the delta area adjacent to the Ganga River along the border of Fatehpur District, Uttar Pradesh province, India.
