Abstract

The low cost toilet technology flipbook assists to find out about the advantages and disadvantages of a range of latrine technologies. It was based on a publication called Low cost toilet options, which was put together in 2004 by Social Marketing for Urban Sanitation, a research project funded by DFID, to help house owners in low-income urban communities choose an appropriate low-cost toilet. The drawings were produced by WEDC, Water Engineering Development Centre. The flipbook allows you to mix and match the three toilet components: superstructure, slab and pit or vault. For each correct combination total costs are calculated. Both pit latrine and ecosan models are used. WaterAid plans to update the flipbook.
