This portal describes sanitation technologies which can be applied from the household level to the village level. A complete sanitation system does not consist of only one technology, but rather a chain of technologies, each taking care of a specific function, such as the toilet, transportation, and treatment. Each technology below is dedicated to one particular function in this chain. An example is given at the end of this page.

Below, sanitation technologies are presented in different functional groups: User interface (Toilets, urinals, handwashing), Collection and Storage / Local Treatment, Conveyance, (semi-) Centralized Treatment, and Use of products / disposal.

Jump to more Sanitation links and resources below.

Field experiences

These projects are utilizing sanitation techniques and are part of the project listing in Really Simple Reporting (RSR) on Akvo.org.

Project 600

Akvo RSR Project: Community-led WASH and Safe Motherhood To enable 32717 extremely poor people including Ethnic Minority Groups (Men Women and Children) of 6218 households living in hard to reach areas in Lama Upazila in Bandarban district moving towards healthy life through access to WASH and safe motherhood.

Sanitation systems

This is a complete sanitation system, which consists of a chain of technologies. Reading the icons in the illustration below from the left to the right we have a Urine Diverting Dry Toilet connecting to Storage tanks, where the faeces are taken away through Human-Powered Emptying and Transport to be processed through Co-composting and then finally be used through Application of Compost - Eco-Humus and the Application of Urine.

The table below lists eight different examples of sanitation systems, going from very simple to more complex. Of course, many other systems are possible, depending on the local context.

1 Single Pit System

2 Waterless System with Alternating Pits

3 Pour Flush System with Twin Pits

4 Waterless System with Urine Diversion

5 Blackwater Treatment System with Infiltration

6 Blackwater Treatment System with Sewerage

7 (Semi-) Centralized Treatment System

8 Sewerage System with Urine Diversion
