Due to constraints of economic resources, a large number of households in rural and urban areas find it difficult to maintain a sanitary latrine, compelling them to go for cheap insanitary toilets.  Scarcity of water compounds the problem in many places. 

This task requires participants to design innovative low cost and easy to maintain sanitary toilets which will require minimum or no use of water.

Portable toilets can be built with a water tank, a tank for excreta which would have an outlet from where excreta can be evacuated periodically by the local govt cleaning team. A pot which would use very less amount of water, a 5 litre bucket must be used instead of flush (since a flush uses 3 times more water than a bucket to clean. Fixed toilets can also be built using same measures.
