Description

Globally, nearly 7 million people live in refugee camps. Refugee camps are temporary facilities for people on the move, and are built as such-- tents, prefab material, communal taps, and so forth. What about toilets? How does one design, operate, and maintain systems that can catch, store, and treat the vast quantities of poop and piss produced by a dense community.... which is formed quickly and grows rapidly?
Tineke Hooijmans, Assistant Professor in Sanitary Engineering (IHE Delft, The Netherlands)explains the difficulties of this task, and the state of sanitation in refugee camps across the world.
