SuSanA Forum- Twin pit pour flush latrines in India - is it timely to call into question the design and operating principles? - by: muench August 24, 2017Dear Hajo, You're right about the wrong thread title. I have corrected that now. Somehow the system went back to the original thread title even though I had split it off into a new thread which I had called: "Twin pit pour flush latrines in India - is it timely to call into question the design and operating principles?". Hopefully it will now […]
- Water and Sanitation Safety Planning Compendium - by: CWendland August 24, 2017Dear colleagues Public health, safe water supply and safe sanitation are very much interrelated and are often neglected or in their relevance underestimated, particularly in rural communities.

- Sanitation systems, what should they acomplish and what does it mean for re-use and disposal - by: rcsindall August 24, 2017I'm really enjoying following this thread so first of all thank you to everyone taking part! A couple of things that I have noticed in the last couple of posts: 1) There has been some discussion about what nutritional deficiency exist in different places.

- Sanitation systems, what should they acomplish and what does it mean for re-use and disposal - by: goeco August 24, 2017Hi Marijn, Phosphate levels in urine are too low for use as a balanced fertiliser.

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.
