One of the ways of utilizing fece and urine as resource is displayed in this video. ECO SAN is basically an improved design of toilet in which feces, urine and water is separately stored. Every time defecation, some ashes or soda or leaves were dropped in feces compartment. It takes 1 year to fill and takes 5 months to get fully composted. In this period feces turn into very rice organic fertilizer. The documentary shows, that compost fertilizer is sold in 5 Rs per Kg. Similarly urine mixed with water is a very good fertilizer which has been proved for greater yield. The water used of cleaning the hand and anus is passed through a simple gravel filter and can be passed to the kitchen garden.
