3. Sanitation
The hygienic disposal or recycling of waste materials,
particularly human excrement which is essential
for the prevention of disease.
• Isolate communities from exposure to human and
animal excretions (e.g. prevent contamination of
water).
• Prevent carrier organisms (e.g. flies) from
contacting the excreta and subsequently
transmitting disease to human.
• Contain the excreta and/or inactive the pathogen.

4. Human Excreta
Urine Feces
120-400 g wet feces/c/day
Influenced by physique,
diet and water intake
1.0 – 1.5 L/c/day
Influenced by diet,
temperature, body posture,
exercise, etc.

5. Feces
• Rich in Ions
• Mostly Urea
• Minimal Pathogens
• Mostly Organic matter
•Heavily pathogenic

6. Human Excreta
Quantity & Resource Value
S.No Parameter Feces Urine Excreta
Quantity and consistency
1 Gram/capita/day (wet) 250 1,200 1,450
2 Gram/capita/day (dry) 50 60 110
Chemical Composition (% of dry solids)
1 Organic matter 92 75 83
2 Carbon C 48 13 29
3 Nitrogen N 4-7 14-18 9-12
4 Phosphorus (as P2O5) 4 3.7 3.8
5 Potassium (as K2O) 1.6 3.7 2.7
Comparison with other wastes (% of dry solids)
N P2O5 K2O
1 Human excreta 9-12 3.8 2.7
2 Plant matter 1-11 0.5-2.8 1.1-11

7. Soil Nutrients Requirement
The plants need the 16 essential nutrients for survivability and growth
(carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium,
magnesium, calcium and sulphur, iron, zinc, copper, manganese,
boron, chlorine and molybdenum).
• Primary: Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium (NPK)
• Secondary: Magnesium, Calcium and Sulfur (Ca, Mg, S)
• Trace elements: Iron, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Boron, Chlorine and
Molybdenum).
Nitrogen is essential constituents of metabolically active compounds such as
amino acids, proteins, enzymes and few non-proteins compounds
Nitrogen is needed for leaf and stem growth, and it gives a dark green color to
plants.
Phosphorous helps make plants more drought resistant and hardy.
Potassium also develops the resistance to plants against fungal and bacterial
disease.

disposal of human excretions

9. Ecological Sanitation (EcoSan)
An approach that aims at utilization of human excretions for
primary production using productive systems.
Three Basic principles of Ecosan:
1. Promotes health and
prevents diseases
2. Protects environment
and conserves resources
3. Recovers and recycles
nutrients

10. Seperation of Waters

11. Urine Diversion Dehydration (UDD)
Toilet

12. Where it Suitable…….
1. High Water Table
2. Water Sacristy Area
3. Hard Rocky Soil
4. Need of Organic Fertilizer
• Liquid ( Urine)
• Compost

14. Three whole pan

16. Ecosan Pan
