Summary:  "Flush it and forget it is the plumbing mantra of the industrialized world. Most people just want sewage to go away, preferably without having to see, smell, or worse yet, touch it. But crap has a bad rap. Human waste is a valuable resource we can use to support food production. Blackwater, urine, and are actually rich in organic matter, and alternative means of handling these "wastes" can conserve enormous quantities of fresh water for other uses. This book presents a wide range of ways to answer the call of nature, and in so doing to maximize the benefits of existing waste water. Proven alternatives to Western waste water disposal. Whether you're interested in composting toilets, outdoor grey- or blackwater planters, constructed wetlands, or other innovative solutions, author Dan Chiras will walk you through: System pros and cons, Design, construction and maintenance advice, and the costs, permitting issues and the safe treatment of composted waste. All system plans are relatively simple and straightforward enough so that the average homeowner can build and install them. Intended for readers who live in cities, towns and rural environments, this is a practical guide to safe, ingenious ways to capture the nutrients from waste and recycle them back into your soil to grow fruit trees, vegetables, and flowers -- all without running afoul of the "ick" factor. Dan Chiras is the author of over 30 books on residential renewable energy, green building and sustainability, including The Homeowner's Guide to Renewable Energy and Power from the Sun. He teaches workshops on sustainable waste management, self-sufficiency, energy efficiency, solar electric and solar thermal systems, wind energy, green building, natural plasters, and natural building."--Provided by publisher.
