A urine-diverting dry toilet (UDDT) is a type of dry toilet with urine diversion that can be used to provide safe, less expensive sanitation in a ramification of contexts worldwide. Thru the separate series of faces and urine with none flush water, many benefits may be found out, which include scent-loose operation and pathogen reduction through drying. whilst dried faces and urine harvested from UDDTs can be and routinely are utilized in agriculture (respectively, as a soil amended and nutrient-rich fertilizer—this practice is referred to as reuse of excreta in agriculture), many UDDTs installations do no longer employ any sort of healing scheme. There are several styles of UDDTs: the single vault kind which has only one faces vault; the double vault type which has faces vaults which can be used alternately; and the mobile or transportable UDDTs which can be a version of the single vault type and are commercially synthetic or homemade from simple materials. Some type of dry cover fabric is commonly brought to the faces vault immediately after every defecation event. The dry cowl material can be ash, sawdust, soil, sand, dried leaves, mineral lime, compost, or dried and decomposed faces amassed in a UDDT after prudent storage and remedy. The cover cloth serves to enhance aesthetics, manage flies, lessen scent and speed up the drying system.
