Brief description of ToR :
The world’s six billion people produce over a million tons of faeces daily (Peasey 2000). Human waste collection, transportation, treatment, and safe disposal is essential to maintaining hygiene and preventing transmission of diseases through the faecal-oral route. Sanitation systems can be broadly classified into waterborne and dry sanitation systems. The former refers to systems that requires water to function while the later does not. While waterborne sanitation is perceived as the gold standards and usually preferred to dry sanitation systems, the reliance on water in view of water stress and climate change considerations makes this option unsustainable.
