India is also talking about an eco-friendly living to a new area of the home, the toilet. A village in Kunnathur, India, has completed a pilot project for eco-friendly toilets. The District Rural Development Agency (DRDA) of Kancheepuram has given the pilot to 20 families who are using the eco-sanitation (eco-san) toilets in their homes.
According to the designer of the toilets, Paul Calvert (a water and sanitation expert)
Eco-san toilets may cost more than conventional ones. However, they do not pollute water resources and yield rich manure.
The idea is a great working source, as its working quite well. The eco-toilet is built above the ground with a twin-chamber beneath the toilet pan to collect faecal matter, over which ash is strewn to help dehydrate and deodorize it. The other waste like Urine and wastewater are then diverted and let out onto to a home garden, while the faecal matter in the chamber is reduced to powdery manure that can be removed from the chamber once a year.
This is properly panned and the result will soon be out, I am sure, this eco-friendly living will help a lot from polluting the water resource.
