Arborloo Template for Sanitation Technologies
The Arborloo is a safely managed sanitation system that works well when space is available (mostly rural areas). It combines safely managed with recycling of human waste. It was developed well over 20 years ago by Stockholm World Water Laureate, Peter Morgan. Several exists in different countries
Climate Change Adaptation
Heavy rains and flooding – Increased rainfall leads to toilet submersion, faecal sludge overflow, and groundwater contamination, posing severe health risks
Double leach Pit Toilet - Template for Sanitation Technologies
The Double Leach Pit Toilet has been developed in India. It is one of the most popular systems and construction has been running in tens of millions. It is also known in Bangladesh and under FINISH Mondial it has been transferred to Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
Double Ventilation Improved Pit Toilet - Template for Sanitation Technologies
The Double Ventilation Improved Toilet has been developed in Eastern Africa. It is a relatively new system though construction runs in thousands of systems.
Flood Prone Proof Toilet - Template for Sanitation Technologies
The Flood Prone Proof Toilet also named as Green Toilet by its inventor- Dr. Pawan K Jha, India, who worked as Technical Expert with WASTE and FINISH Mondial for the project for India and Bangladesh respectively.
Safe Water Garden Template for Sanitation Technologies
The Safe Water Garden is a safely managed sanitation system that works well in warm (above freezing) and wet conditions when some space is available and kitchen wastewater can be treated separately.
Toilet Linked to Household Biogas
Linking the toilet to a household biogas system is well developed in Eastern and Southern Asia. It is a system that works well at household level, if the household keeps at least 2 cows or buffaloes. FINISH Mondial has implemented some 750 such systems in Gujarat, India, with members of large dairy cooperative. The systems that were installed some eight years ago are still utliised. The initial hesitation with users on the mixing of animal waste with human waste got overcome through intensified awareness building.
Toilet Linked to Septic Tank and Soak Pit
One of the most popular stand-alone sanitation systems globally is the septic tank. It is a treatment system that reduces BOD/COD and SS in wastewater by on average 60% (if designed and constructed properly).
Urine Diversion Dehydration Toilet - Template for Sanitation Technologies
The Urine Diversion Dehydration Toilet have originally been developed in Japan in the 1950s. In the early 2000s it was disseminated in several countries around the globe. Some are still operational and others have bene disbanded.
