A k-what? In the north, instead of digging a latrine down into the rocky soil, they build up. The planks beneath my feet are about 8 feet off the ground and are essentially the roof of a room with no windows or doors. One mounts the building and does their business, trying not to hit the wood. You'd think this would create a pretty nasty situation down below, but the exteme heat and lack of moisture in the air tend to dry the waste and keep the stink manageable. I not sure what happens when one of these things fills up.
