Results: Qualitative results showed that there were strong traditional beliefs governing water use and humanexcreta disposal.
2
Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of interventions to improve the disposal of humanexcreta for preventing diarrhoeal diseases.
3
However, only 50% of the P contained in humanexcreta could be finally used for crop nutrition.
4
To reclaim all nutrients from humanexcreta and fertigate a larger agricultural area, sanitation user behavior needs to be improved.
5
The use of recycled humanexcreta can also provide positive yield improvements, but community perceptions remain a barrier to adopting these fertilisers.
6
Nevertheless, gaps in coverage and widespread continuation of open defecation will result in continued exposure to humanexcreta, reducing the potential for health gains.
7
Another and better plan, especially in a large camp, is the burning of the garbage and humanexcreta in an incinerator, such as the McCall.
8
Nowhere in this province, nor further north, did we see the large terra cotta, receptacles so extensively used in the south for storing humanexcreta.
