Hi Mike,
Yes, we have discussed this idea before I have different designs to choose from
and also know alumni who have experience building these type of toilets. This
goes hand in hand with our biointensive efforts and certainly makes more sense.
We need to see which design best suits Nicaragua and then identify those
contractors that can either learn or know how to build them.
