3.2.1 Rainwater problems at the school<br />

The backyard of the school in Ishull Leizhë is partly flooded during rainy season and kids play in the flooded<br />

areas. The “septic tank” of the school toilets was already improved in the last years. The construction was<br />

raised a little higher to prevent rainwater flowing into the tank. But as the concrete tank cover has many<br />

defects, rainwater can still enter the tank. Also wastewater from the tank can be flushed out through these<br />

openings. There is a rainwater trench on one side of the tank that is connected to a bigger rainwater<br />

channel next to the school along the road. But both, channel and trench, are blocked and do not work<br />

properly. While the trench on the school yard is blocked by soil and vegetation, the rainwater channel at the<br />

street is nearly completely blocked by waste (see Figure C.17).<br />
