Dry toilets in Mexico - a field visit |
|
Wednesday, 23 June 2010 |
 A lot of people in Mexico, especially in rural areas, do not have access to basic sanitation. There are pit latrines or rudimentary flush toilets, which do not solve the problem but rather create new ones. Poor hygiene generates disease, deep latrines contaminate groundwater, and inadequate flush systems discharge wastewater into underground water sources, rivers and lakes. Therefore simple, affordable and ecological solutions are required.

 Nearly half of the world's population is lacking adequate sanitation.
