Sanitation and Cleanliness for a Healthy Environment 39
3 ways to build a dry toilet
For all 3, build a shelter and steps. Attach doors in the back
(cement slabs held in place by lime mortar work best). Run the
urine-diverting tube out the hole in the toilet base to a container, a
drainage pit, or into the garden to fertilize the soil.
Finishing the base
Building a shelter
Make a platform with a squatting hole. The
upside-down jug should be in the center so urine
goes into the jug and feces into the chamber.
Make a bench with wood, leaving a 5-sided hole
over each chamber. Attach a urine-diverter to the
front of each hole. Put toilet seats over the holes
and cover the bench with plastic or linoleum for
easy cleaning.
urine is collected
in a container...
... or sent
through a
hose into
the garden
Put the urine-diverting toilet bowl over
one of the holes and cover the other hole
until it is ready to use.
