Sustainable sanitation is the holy grail that is being chased in both developed and developing world.Ecosan, ecological sanitation, is a system where usually source separation of urine and faeces is done. These are then hygienically treated and reused for their nutrient value
Ecosan toilet in an urban area and that too on a first floor.The source separating pan ensures that urine and faeces is collected separately. The system has been designed for the Indian condition,squatters (not sitters) and washers(not wipers). A rainwater collection system collects rain from the roof into a barrel. The water for ablution purpose comes entirely from rain. A Tippy Tap dispenses water in small doses for cleansing. The urine itself is used as a fertilizer for plants and the faeces composted for application to soil. The Ecosan system is a water conserving,resource generating and pollution preventing system, good for urban areas and rural places especially.
The challenge in urban areas is to find the space to utilize the nutrients. A roof garden is the perfect answer.

    its interesting you have the water tank away from the toilet wall.. if it was closer you could have another pipe going direct from the tank to the tippy washer thing.. also im assuming the urine catcher is for women.. because for men it would be easier to have a standing up device like a funnel on the end of a tube.

    Well actually the tippy tap dispenses about 40 ml every time and it has a 2 litre capacity, so one gets about 50 uses. I need to fill it about once in 15 days.  Since Indians are squatters the urine collection is of course for women but also for men when you do the big job and the small job. A tad inconvenient when you just have to pee but hey some sacrifice for all the beautiful tomatoes you get :):) and a clean loo.
