Small-scale sanitation scaling up (4S) The project seeks to provide sound empirical evidence for future small-scale sanitation sector investments in South Asia

WASH in the context of maternal health and menstrual hygiene Finding out the specific needs of users, especially women, with regard to water, sanitation and hygiene service provisions in public health facilities in India and Uganda

Blue Diversion Autarky, a self-sustaining grid free toilet Development of technologies and prototype reactors for the on-site treatment of source-separated urine, feces and polluted water from anal cleansing and handwashing.

Determining the effectiveness and mode of operation of Community Lead Total Sanitation (CLTS): The DEMO-CLTS study The study’s overall goal is to improve the behavioral change strategies used to eliminate open defecation.

EAWAG Research Projects Eawag is a world-leading, transdisciplinary working aquatic research institute. Fields of research in sanitation are excreta and wastewater management and strategic environmental sanitation planning.

Diversion for safe sanitation: Flushable urine-diverting dry toilet with on-site wash water recycling embedded in a concept of transport logistics and treatment The squatting “diversion toilet” includes integrated wash water recovery for hand washing and toilet cleaning. It separates undiluted urine, dry feces and wash water. The used water passes ultrafiltration and is recycled for the same purposes.

VUNA - Promoting sanitation and nutrient recovery through urine separation (Valorisation of urine nutrients in Africa) This project developed a system to collect source-separated urine and process it into fertiliser. Collection logistics, treatment technologies, and social and economic assessments of nutrient recovery were some of the activities.
