What do dirt latrines and aqua latrines look like in rural areas?

The rural environment has always been a big problem because there are many specific problems that are difficult to solve, including toilets. For farmers, in fact, they still like aqua toilets, but in recent years, various places have begun to carry out environmental remediation, changing aqua toilets to flushing toilets, some places are willing to change, and some places oppose reforms, so what is the difference between these two ways?

First of all, let's talk about why the countryside has been a dry toilet for so many years. Houses are built in rural areas according to local conditions, especially more than ten years ago, when there were basically no water flushing toilets, so every household was a dry toilet, because it was easy to repair, and the cost was low, and there was no need to install a sewer specifically for drainage. This saves a lot of money for farmers.

In addition, aqua toilets can also increase fertilizer for farmers. Although manure is not the main fertilizer for crops, it is a natural fertilizer and the effect is still very good. At least for our farmer friends, this is another way to save money.

With the progress of people's thinking and the development of the economy, public toilets in rural areas have also begun to be renovated and transformed into flushing toilets, and a considerable part of family toilets have also been transformed into flushing toilets. For families, it is necessary to renovate aqua toilets. Because in the summer, the smell of aqua toilets is very strong, and it is very easy to transmit diseases, especially the spread of coliform bacteria.

And the taste is so big that it can affect our mood. In addition, modern families basically have a drainage system, and they are not afraid that the flushing toilet will not be usable.

Retrofitting aqua toilets will also reduce the number of mosquitoes, which has greatly demonstrated the advantages of flushing toilets. However, there are still many difficulties in the promotion of flushing toilets. First, it is the toilet habits of farmers.

Most farmers have been using aqua latrines all their lives, and they are not used to using flushing toilets at all, and sometimes they forget to flush them after using them, which also makes reform difficult.

Second, flushing toilets require a complete drainage system. Although flushing toilets have many advantages, at the same time, there are also high requirements for the drainage system, if the flushing toilet does not have a relatively complete drainage system, it will definitely be endless, or it will bring more trouble.

Third, the issue of cost. Many farmers are accustomed to using aqua toilets and are reluctant to spend money to cover them. In order to solve this problem, the local government has also thought of many ways and given a lot of subsidies, but a considerable number of farmers are still unwilling to cover dry toilets.

In short, there are many advantages of flushing toilets, but at the same time there are many requirements, there are still great difficulties on the road of reform, when our farmer friends are completely emancipated, maybe the transformation of aqua toilets will be smoother.

The earthen latrines and aqua toilets in rural areas are basically very different. It is usually enclosed with wooden doors, and families with better conditions will add a roof, or a special cement compartment, put two bricks on the left and right for people to step on, and generally cover some soil to bury.

This kind of toilet is built directly on the outside of a small house made of wooden planks or bricks, digging a large pit under the ground, and then adding wooden planks on top of the toilet is the toilet.

There is a hole above, with two planks on both sides to step on, and below is a pit, which is easy to get out.

An aqua toilet is a toilet that is buried in the ground with a manure tank or manure tank under the squatting pit to store feces and urine. Because the capacity of a manure tank or tank is limited, it should be cleaned every once in a while.

Manure is dirty and smelly in everyone's eyes, but it still has its own use, whether it is human manure or animal manure, after fermentation, it is a very good farm fertilizer. In the past, many farmers used farm manure to farm their land, some farmers picked vegetables in the field to water vegetables, and some picked them up in the field as fertilizer. Although there are very few people who use manure to cultivate land in rural areas, there are still some people who continue to use it for farming.

The health problems caused by aqua toilets are very serious, and many rural areas have implemented rural toilet renovation policies, and now there are fewer and fewer aqua toilets in rural areas.

According to data released earlier by China's National Health Commission, the incidence of fecal-oral diseases in areas where toilet renovations have been implemented has dropped from 10,000 to 10,000, with the incidence of dysentery, typhoid fever and hepatitis A declining, respectively. In order to smoothly promote the "toilet revolution", various localities have also implemented a policy of incentives and subsidies for rural households to change toilets.

Aqua privies. Refers to some toilet flushing without water.

Allowing excrement to decompose on its own in the manure collection pit with nature.

Most of the aqua privies in Hong Kong, China, are located in rural areas.

In the early days, most of the aqua privies were located in the northeast of Hong Kong, China.

For example, the village of Sanya.

Lychee Nest. However, aqua privies have begun to disappear.

See less and buy less aqua toilets.

It's a squatting toilet. That is, it is not a toilet.

There's a big hole in the middle.

Excrement can be easily seen in the cave.

Since the excrement can be seen directly.

That is, it is not separated! The smell of feces rises from the bottom up.

If the toilet is used by multiple people.

The stench is unstoppable! If the toilet is not used by many people.

Of course, you don't have to pinch your nose when you're liberated! A large hole in the middle of the aqua toilet.

About an oval.

The diameter is about the same as that of the public toilet, which is both a squat toilet and a small number of toilet mouths, and there is a disadvantage of aqua toilets.

It's like you have something around your waist or in your trouser pocket.

For example, silver wallets, water bottles.

Once you accidentally squat down, drop the gun in the manure hole of the aqua toilet.

That's miserable. The manure pit is high.

You fall left to pick up.

In addition to making the body full of dung.

You're going to end up with a police officer patrolling the countryside in Hong Kong, China.

He was working on major projects in aqua privies

He crouched down. The pistol suddenly fell out of the pouch at his waist.

More straight to fall in the aqua toilet both collection pits.

Of course, he knew that the manure pit was deep.

So there was no climb down into the pit to pick up his manure gun

In the end, he had to ask his compatriots for help for the dung gun

Finally, call a manure truck to pump out the manure.

Take the gun out again!

Reference: The information comes from my experience of hiking to go to the toilet.

Plus my mom's experience when she was a child.

The story is also a true story.

It happened in the 1970s.

Aqua privies are village-style toilets that consist of septic tanks attached to the underside of each latrine. These latrines are located in rural areas without sewerage systems, so they are transported to the septic tank by suction trucks to suck up the sludge and transport it to the sewage treatment plant for treatment.

Reference: *Press release.

A dry toilet is a toilet that has no running water to flush, i.e. there is only a manure pit!

Aqua toilets are toilets that don't have flushing equipment, and they usually have a big hole.

Of course, one compartment apart.

It's convenient for everyone to tie the big pit.

There is no flushing. Leave when you're done.

When the time comes, someone will clean it up first. So hygiene is usually poor.

Toilet without water to flush!!

In rural areas, there are several main ways to flush aqua toilets:

1.Manual pump-type flushing. This flushing method uses manual pumping to extract the water from a well, pool or tank, and then using human labor to pour the water into the flush pit of the toilet to flush the toilet.

2.Bucket pouring flush. This flushing method flushes the toilet by filling it in a bucket and then pouring the water into the flush pit next to the toilet.

3.Water-saving flush flush water. A water-saving flusher is a device that uses the principle of pressure to drain a toilet with a small amount of water. This flushing method can save more water and resources, and is suitable for situations where toilets are not sufficiently watered or are short of water.

4.Well water is diverted from the outside to flush water. In the absence of enough running water, pressure can be used to divert well water to the toilet for flushing. This method requires a certain amount of well water pressure and the installation of special piping and pumping equipment, which is costly.

In general, the flushing method of rural aqua privies varies by region and conditions, but the need for toilet flushing can be achieved by utilizing local resources and simple equipment.

1. First of all, connect the tap water pipe to the toilet, and then tie a thin water pipe to the tap pipe.

2. Secondly, flush the toilet through the pressure of tap water.

3. Finally, as a dry toilet, it is generally flushed with a water pipe, unlike the kind of toilet with a toilet, which can be flushed at any time.

It will be scooped out with a manure bucket, and then composted and used to fertilize the vegetable field, which is quite green and pollution-free.

A wooden bucket will be used to fill the excrement and water it on top of the vegetables, or the excrement will be put in a bucket and handed over to the wild.

Watering the plants. Use this excrement to water the plants, as these have nutrients.

Aqua toilet refers to a toilet with a manure tank or manure tank buried in the ground under the squatting pit to store feces and urine, most of which are in urban shantytowns, urban-rural junctions and rural areas. Because aqua toilets do not have flushing equipment, sewers and equipment that can decompose and dispose of feces and urine, and the feces and urine in the septic tanks, squatting pits, urinals and manure tanks of aqua toilets cannot be removed in time, such toilets have a foul smell, which will attract mosquitoes, flies and maggots.

With the development and progress of Chinese society, most of the aqua toilets in urban areas and some aqua toilets in rural areas have been replaced by flushing toilets and various environmentally friendly toilets. These toilets are suitable for areas where sewer facilities are lacking, and traditional aqua privies do not have flushing equipment and only dig a large pit in the latrine compartment to store manure. Due to the long-term exposure of manure tanks to the air, there will be hygiene problems such as foul odors and mosquito breeding.

In ancient times, whether it was the common people of Li or the princes and nobles, the squatting pits and toilets used by the Gong were dry toilets. The popularity of flush toilets is only a recent thing. In ancient times, the toilet was replaced by a wooden barrel instead of the current pit, and the wooden barrel was used to facilitate the disposal of feces and ensure the freshness of the air.
