UDD toilet for ecosan awareness at UNESCO-IHE in Delft

A lecturer at UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education in Delft, The Netherlands, describes the functioning of the urine-diversion dehydrating (UDD) toilet. This toilet has been installed in May 2006 and helps to raise awareness about possibilities of waterless sanitation with the ultimate aim to recycle nutrients back to the land in accordance with the ecological sanitation (ecosan) approach. For more information see also www.unesco-ihe.org or search in google for ecosan.

You'd have a lot of dehydrating to do with watery diarrhea.
