<p>A toilet pedestal (10) includes an upper opening (14) over which a user is seated in use and which is aligned with a lower opening (16) communicated with an underground pit. An inner wall of a bowl of the pedestal (10) leads into a peripheral channel (18) around the lower opening. The channel has a narrow opening which may be covered by a strainer to allow liquid to flow along the inner wall into the channel, but not to accept solids, which fall through the opening (16) into the pit. Thus, excreta collected in the pit are dry. Liquid (urine) is collected in the channel (18) and is conducted via an outlet duct (20, 26) to a disposal zone where it is released to the underground to provide liquid and nutrients to plants (30) .</p> |
