Methodology
• Existing Literature reviewed
• Two graduated volunteers were briefed about the
Basic Concept and Objective of the study
• They were provided with survey form and briefed
for undertaking survey
• 10 Villages were selected for mapping
• In each village 5 persons randomely selected for
interview
• Observations/type of latrines, water sources and
farming interviewers perception were recorded

Findings/Respondents’ Perception:
• 90 % interviewees know the economic importance of night
soil.
• 30% of interviewers know the health and environmental
impact of excreta
• 20% of the respondents know both the economic and
health implication of excreta disposal
• According to 80% of the questioned farmers’ night soil
reduce the farms watering frequencies.
• Nearly all respondents prefer night soil as best soil dresser
rather than too costly chemical fertilizers.
• All respondents uses NS in fall after harvest
• But only 10% need is met/Costly transportation

Findings Based on Observations:
20% single vault dry latrines were newly built
60% single vault dry traditional latrines upgraded
20% traditional vault latrines were seen.
No appropriate composting arrangements(pit for emptied
excreta covered with soil) were mapped.
Piles of night soil were seen nearby latrines or off-site
nearby gardens to be used as fertilizer.
Nearly all respondents uses NS in the falls after harvesting
Serving as breeding site for rodent and vectors, the
narrated scenario depict health and environmental hazards
Even with full detoxification and composting process, only
10% of total need for night soil is met annually
Recommendation
Pilot Project for Human Excreta Management to:
• Work with communities how to improve excreta
management/ part of ACCLTS as well
• Build on the existing capacity
• Provide communities with composting facilities as lined
pit nearby privies or in gardens
• Facilitate interface between farming communities and
agriculture sector for excreta management
• To do this revive and improve old excreta management
in cities which will provide a cheap alternative to costly
chemical fertilizer to the local farmers
