Hi Lillian,

Here is some information on humanure - the use of human waste for fertilizer. The site has some good information on how to build a toilet that is basic, inexpensive and may meet your needs. Not sure how they would work in flood situations though...

This organization has some interesting facts listed on their website all with references.

Another group that works on water and sanitation issues is Engineers Without Borders. Here is a link to the Canadian site that has some good information on some of the work they do, including a pump. Thanks to Paul for providing the link in another thread.

Hello Mohamed,

Thank you for joining this group and posting about this project. Do you have any other information about the work being done? Is there a website or maybe some examples or lessons that others can learn from?

Thanks,

Barb

Hello Lillian,

Thank you for joining the water and sanitation group. I hope you find some good input here.

I am not a water expert, so I can only provide information and resources, but I can look over some of the resources already provided and see what is available. I will also try to find out some information specific to the problems facing your community, although since I am not a water expert, I can only gather information and hopefully you will find contacts that you can follow up with.

WSP Water and Sanitation Group
http://www.wsp.org

The Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) is a multi-donor partnership of the World Bank. Our goal is to help the poor gain sustained access to improved water supply and sanitation services (WSS).

We work directly with client governments at the local and national level in 25 countries through 4 regional offices and in the World Bank headquarters, Washington D.C. Our aim is to achieve the Millennium Development Goals of halving the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation by 2015.

Action Against Hunger has a manual for field-based solutions entitled "Water & Sanitation for Populations at Risk." The following link has the guide which can be downloaded.

Hello Tearrie,

Thank you for this link and information! Yes I think it will be of use to many groups. I actually just had someone asking about materials in Spanish and French so I direct them to this booklet.

Regards,

Barb
