Is there a dry toilet in China?

A cesspool or cesspit is buried underground under the squat pit of the dry toilet to store feces and urine. Because there is no flushing equipment, sewer and equipment that can decompose and treat feces, the feces in the cesspit, squat pit, urinal and cesspool of dry toilets cannot be cleaned in time. This toilet has a foul smell, which will attract mosquitoes and flies and breed maggots. Most of the aqua privies in China are located in shanty towns, urban-rural junctions and rural areas. With the development and progress of China society, most urban aqua privies and some rural aqua privies have been replaced by flush toilets and various eco-friendly toilets.

With the continuous progress, development and implementation of the toilet improvement project in China and the great achievements of the "toilet revolution", the rural environmental problems have also been greatly improved. At present, there are obvious differences in the number and types of rural toilets in different regions, and the penetration rate of sanitary toilets is "high in the south and low in the north, high in the east and low in the west"; Although water toilets are the focus of toilet improvement projects, considering the different geographical locations and climate characteristics of various regions in China, sanitary dry toilets should also be the focus of toilet improvement in some regions of China; The types of traditional sanitary dry toilets are mainly packaged ecological toilets and water-free biological treatment fertilizer-making ecological toilets, which have the characteristics of no need of water, wide application range, simple equipment, easy maintenance, on-site treatment, harmless waste and resource utilization. With the change of social development, more and more new sanitary dry toilets have been developed and successfully applied to practice.
