Toilets and resulting DilutionType of Toilet Daily Flow per P. Pro and Con's
Flushingtoilet
+ widely accepted- waste of water- high dilution
Vacuum-toilet
+ low water demand+ well developed (ships)- high-tec / expensive
Separatingtoilet
+ little water / little dilution+ simple fertiliser reuse- little experience
WaterlessUrinal
+ no water / no dilution- maintenance required
Composting-toilet
+ no water needed- high space demand- maintenance neededDesiccation toilet++ Desiccation for hot climates
