Eco-Sanitation
Management and maintenance of human excreta
and Urine without affecting the environment and
protection of water sources is termed as “ECO
SANITATION”
The eco-san is ecological sanitation which is ecofriendly. Eco-sanitation aims at using the human
solid waste and urine for agricultural purposes
It is proposed to use human waste for agricultural
production thereby cost of cultivation is reduced
Eco-Sanitation
It is expected that by use of human waste and
urine for agriculture purpose the human waste is
deemed as a resource rather than waste
This requires storage of human solid waste and
urine in separate compartments which are dry and
water proof. Hence, this requires construction of
brick chambers with concrete top below every
toilet
Eco-Sanitation
The human waste has potash and nitrogen which
is useful for agricultural crops.
The same
components are the components of the chemical
fertilizers which are purchased by the farmers
every year by paying cash and incurring expenses
to travel to the nearby town
Hence, through introducing eco-sanitation, the
rural families are not only able to maintain
environmental sanitation in villages but also able
to save towards the cost of agriculture inputs
invested by them every year
Eco-Sanitation
A rural family will be able to save water
substantially by using eco-san toilets
The farmers will be able to recycle the nutrients
resulting in improvement of soil quality, structure
and fertility by application of organic matter and
plant nutrients will be easily available to them
Use of human waste as fertilizer will improve
agricultural productivity and enhance food
security
Eco-Sanitation
• Health conditions of rural families will improve
due to use of eco-sanitary toilets through
reduction of diarrhea and other diseases now
prevalent in villages due to unhygienic
conditions

Advantages of Eco-Sanitation
•Consumes less water
•Controls pollution of ground water and
environment
•No spread of Bacteria/Virus since water is not
used to flush human waste
•Protects health of rural community
•Gives pride to the Family of owning a eco-san
toilet
•Protection for women and girls
Advantages of Eco-Sanitation
•Spread of flies and insects is controlled
•Avoids bad smell, if properly maintained
•Improves soil fertility without incurring cost on
use of chemical fertilizer
•Heavy investment on chemical fertilizers is
saved by the farmers
•Saves adequate amount of water

How to use the Toilet
•There are two outlets one for fecal and another for
urine. There is a separate place for washing after
defecation
•There are two chambers in the toilet
•One chamber is expected to be used for 6 months for
an average family size of 5 followed by another, on
filling up of the first chamber
•The first chamber should be closed for a period of 6
months after use and repeat the process by using
another chamber
How to use the Toilet
•After defecation one hand full hand of ash over the
fecal. So that it decomposes within a day
•Urine is collected in a separate can outside the toilet
which can be used for plants in the kitchen garden such
as vegetables, banana, coconut trees etc., by mixing
water in 1:10 ratio
•It should be ensured that at any time fecal, urine and
washed water is not mixed
Comparison between Pour Flush Toilet and
Eco-san Toilet
Two Pits Pour Flush Toilet
Two Vaults Eco-san Toilet
Two Pits under ground for
Continuous usage
Two vaults above the ground for
continuous usage
Design needs to be changed
depending upon soil terrain
Design is suitable for all types of
soils
Requires enough quantity of
water
Works with limited water
Not feasible in rocky areas
Best suited model in rocky areas
Decomposition is slower and
often encourages manual
scavenging
Natural decomposition and paves
a way for organic farming.

Drawbacks
Cost of construction is very high as compared to
other toilets
Non acceptance of the community to touch
decomposed fecal
Children are unable to use independently
Attracts rats and snakes
How the community was motivated
Discussions were held in sAgs of women, Watershed
Development Associations, Village Water and
Sanitation Committees and sAg Federations
Organized Grama Sabhas in proposed villages and
explained about advantages of Eco-sanitation
Organized PRAs and conducted exercises such as
transact, social mapping to make the community to
realize about unhygienic situation in the village
In social mapping houses without toilets and open
defecation places were marked
How the community was motivated
Cost incurred for health treatments were
highlighted in the PRA exercise in seasonality
mapping
Benefits from use of toilets was highlighted in
matrix exercise
The community members were taken for exposure
to locations where eco-sanitation was already in
practice such as Mosaralla, Talavadi
Wall Paintings were depicted highlighting the uses
of eco-sanitary toilets
How the community was motivated
Men and women were trained before
construction of toilets in design and benefits
from eco-sanitation. After construction, the
community were trained in usage and
maintenance
Children were trained to use eco-sanitary toilets
Practical demonstrations were conducted in
harvesting of decomposed manure from eco-san
toilets
Masons were trained in construction of ecosanitary toilets. During the training few toilets
were constructed
