Abstract:
This book puts forward an alternative to conventional sanitation called 'ecological sanitation'. It is based on an ecosystem approach and treats human urine and faeces as a valuable resource to be recycled. It further shows that ecological sanitation is by no means untried - there are hundreds of thousands of dehydrating and composting toilets in use around the world today, mostly in rural areas and small communities. What we need now is to develop large-scale applications of the ecological sanitation concept in urban areas both in developed and developing countries. Contents:
