'''A Urine Diverting Dry Toilet (UDDT) is a toilet that operates without water and has a divider so that the user, with little effort can divert the urine away from the faeces.'''
<br>The UDDT toilet is built such that urine is collected and drained from the front area of the toilet, while faeces fall through a large chute (hole) in the back. Depending on the Collection and Storage/Treatment technology that follows, drying material such as lime, ash or earth should be added into the same hole after defecating.
===Design Considerations=== '''It is important that the two sections of the toilet are well separated to ensure that a) faeces do not fall into, and clog the urine collection area in the front, and that b) urine does not splash down into the dry area of the toilet. :
There are also 3-hole separating toilets that allow anal cleansing water to be separated from a) faeces do not fall into and clog the urine and collection area in the faeces into a thirdfront, dedicated hole. It is important that the faeces remain separate and dry. When the toilet is cleaned with water, care should be taken to ensure that the faeces are not mixed with water.
Both a pedestal and a squat slab can be used to separate b) urine from faeces depending on user preferencedoes not splash down into the dry area of the toilet. '''

==Adequacy==
The UDDT is simple to design and build using such materials as concrete and wire mesh or plastic. The UDDT design can be altered to suit the needs of specific populations (i.e. smaller for children, people who prefer to squat, etc.) They are appropriate for almost every climate.

==Maintenance=Appropriateness===A The UDDT is slightly more difficult simple to keep clean compared to other toilets because of both the lack of water design and the need to separate the solid faeces build, using such materials as concrete and liquid urinewire mesh or plastic.

Faeces can ===Health Aspects/Acceptance=== The UDDT is not intuitive or immediately obvious to some users. At first, users may be accidentally deposited hesitant about using it, and mistakes made (e.g., faeces in the urine section, causing blockages bowl) may deter others from accepting this type of toilet as well. Demonstration projects and cleaning problemstraining are essential to achieve good acceptance with users. As wellFor better acceptance of the system and to avoid urine in the faeces collection bowl, urine pipes/fittings the toilet can become blocked over time be combined with a Urinal (U.3), allowing men to stand and may require occasional maintenanceurinate.
This ===Operation & Maintenance=== A UDDT is a waterless technology slightly more difficult to keep clean compared to other toilets because of both the lack of water and water should not be poured down the toiletneed to separate the solid faeces and liquid urine. As wellNo design will work for everyone and, urine tends to rust most metals; therefore, metals should some users may have difficulty separating both streams perfectly, which may result in extra cleaning and maintenance. Faeces can be avoided for accidentally deposited in the construction urine section, causing blockages and piping of the UDDTcleaning problems.
== Movie ==All of the surfaces should be cleaned regularly to prevent odours and to minimize the formation of stains. Water should not be poured in the toilet for cleaning. Instead, a damp cloth may be used to wipe down the seat and the inner bowls. Some toilets are easily removable and can be cleaned more thoroughly. It is important that the faeces remain separate and dry. When the toilet is cleaned with water, care should be taken to ensure that the faeces are not mixed with water.
Because urine is collected separately, calcium- and magnesium-based minerals and salts can precipitate and build up in pipes and on surfaces where urine is constantly present. Washing the bowl with a mild acid (e.g., vinegar) and/or hot water can prevent the build-up of mineral deposits and scaling. Stronger (> 24% acetic) acid or a caustic soda solution (2 parts water to 1 part soda) can be used for removing blockages. However, in some cases manual removal may be required.
 
An odour seal also requires occasional maintenance. It is critical to regularly check its functioning.
