We often get so enthusiastic about shelters in disaster recovery operations, but forget about the toilets. The design of the Philippine Red Cross latrines in the Typhoon Haiyan operation are so carefully designed. The effluent from the latrine flows into one tank and will take about 2 years to fill. When that happens, the householder switches the junction joint (photo below) to the 2nd holding tank while the other one breaks down and composts. Brilliant.
