Bad examples from Eastern Germany
Why: Very good business,bribery, lack of knowledge
Real costs up to 50€/m³

Avoiding health risks?
On-Site sanitation conventional:• Septic tank, often no further treatment: nitrate and
pathogens can pollute groundwaterSludge is unusable, trucked away
• Further treatment: very rarely nutrient removal, still nitrate in groundwater, still pathogens (but less)

Additional remarks• Development of innovative sanitation can go
together with local employment (production and operation)
• Simple urine diversion solves the problem of nitrogen emissions to water
• - but proper reuse is required
• Ecosan is maturing very fast, better products
• Greywater treatment can be combined with reuse
• Operation and maintenance are crucial issues that have to be assured

Conclusions
• On-Site sanitation is a proven, cost efficient and accepted solution
• Conventional systems are usually not resouce efficient and still spread nitrogen and pathogens
• Innovative systems are proven, reuse and low emissions go together with local employment
• Awareness campaigns on all levels are crucial
• Cheapest solution is often dry UD-toilets with added value and water efficiency
