SuSanA Forum- Call for specific small-scale / decentralised sewage treatment plant case studies and contacts in India - by: goeco August 24, 2017Hi Lukas, Innovative is not necessarily superior in my view. Depends on whether you see innovation as just introducing a new method, or the application of better solutions. We are categorizing by technologies/processes, and then including different products per technology... Different engineering companies simply sell sewage treatment plants (STPs) as their […]
- New SATO Connection System for Twin-Pit Pour Flush Latrines - by: goeco August 24, 2017Michal, I would be surprised that the carbon component of urea is 40% of the total carbon in our excreta. Feces are relatively high in carbon and the C/N ratio is pretty good for decomposition. Add pure urine and the nitrogen to carbon ratio goes through the roof. Everybody, The point I have been making all along is that with some simple modifications the de […]
- New SATO Connection System for Twin-Pit Pour Flush Latrines - by: MichalKulak August 23, 2017Hello Pawan, It is absolutely true. In our study, we looked at the twin pit system as a case study but this concerns all simple anaerobic toilet systems, including single pit latrine. I am not sure methane can be sequestered in the ground by the lack of ventilating pipe. My worry is that it is escaping somewhere. It would be good to verify the estimates with […]
- New SATO Connection System for Twin-Pit Pour Flush Latrines - by: pkjha August 23, 2017Dear Michal Emission of methane is from all toilets based on anaerobic condition like Septic tanks, single or two pit toilet, Shankar Balram toilet, ABR, Anaerobic filter, and Ecosan Toilet. It is not only Twin pit toilet where methane is formed. In case of twin pit toilet, there is no vent pipe and produced gases are not directly emitted in atmosphere. Such […]

Sanitation Hackathon Field Visits

Yeah great, let’s have a database where we collect some random data. Oh, and let’s also do this in East Africa where we only have 1000+ NGOs.
Srsly, as if a mobile app would change anything. Also, I am sick of seeing these things being field tested in East Africa all the time.
I’d love to have a reporting app (which would already be achieved via Frontline SMS or Ushahidi), but I’d also love to see much more action on the data use side. Reliable data that provides for tangible decisions.
Plus: who will guarantee that there is more to happen once the hackathon hype is gone? And who will pay devs in Europe to get to know about the equally poor face of public toilets in the EU?
