2.1 Sanitation arrangements

• at household and community levels

Is there one system that suits most conditions
or must we choose and combine?
Learning objectives matching management with
technology and local conditions

Year 1900 nutrients from human waste were
recycled ? but disposal of glass and metal in
latrine bins made this impossible ? Human-derived
nutrients went into the water cycle
Year 2000 use of sewage sludge as fertiliser ?
but heavy metals and hormones in wastewater made
this impossible ? Sludge went to landfill or
incineration
