- To address the issue of poor air quality a number of ventilation strategies can be employed. Here a simple skillion roof is raised above the main block.
- Local Bamboo construction techniques are ideal for the promotion of good floor and wall ventilation
- The existing well conditions can be simply improved, reducing the risk of contamination during flood. By raising the walls and constructing a simple plinth, the well can continue to function during flood.
- A much safer alternative to the open well in flood areas is the bore well. This greatly decreased the chance of contamination and can be used during flood situations. A simple gravel plinth can also encourage drainage.
- Existing slab style latrines can be altered to improve drainage by breaking the slab internally and introducing gravel as an alternative.
- By creating new gravel bed wash platforms in the rivers, the water quality can be improved. Gravel wash beds will encourage the growth of water cleaning micro organisms, removing harmful toxins and heavy metals from the river.
- The issue of male-female separation can be addressed by introducing separate entries to sanitary facilities while maintaining mixed use wash areas.
- Bamboo screens and raised platforms can introduce another layer of privacy for users while maintaining interaction.
- With such poor storm and waste water infrastructure, rainwater run-off can create flooding and mix contaminated matter with drinking water sources. Gravel run-off pits under hanging chain . . .
- Rainwater collection offers another source of cleaner water for use in cooking and drinking. Tanks could be filled during the wet season and used throughout the year.
- Another simple strategy that would allow rainwater to soak into the water table would be the creation of simple gravel swails around eaves and run-off areas.
- In the event of a flood, sanitation and provision of facilities is highly important to reduce the risk of disease. By simply raising sanitary facilities above the average flood level, they can still be accessed in times disaster
- Another similar method is the use of a raised composting unit. The collection tank in this situation can be sealed off to stop any risk of the spread of contaminants during flood.

This is a reality. The rivers in Kampung areas are used for washing, bathing, fishing and sanitation. Often these all occur from the same platform.
Man made interventions line the banks of many rivers, these often form plinths, nets,barriers and dividers. These interventions are often communal.
From the information and research that we have gathered, better sanitation and clean water access are two major needs within Indonesian Kampung such as Kricak and Sidomulyo. From the available images and resources that we have, we can see that the Winongo River plays a major role in the lives of the people in Kricak-Sidomulyo. It seems to not only serve a functional but also a spiritual role in the community. Our understanding is that the river is utilized for washing, bathing, sanitation and fishing.
