scenarios. The results <strong>of</strong> the comparison <strong>of</strong> the cost constituents create the impression that the<br />

increase <strong>of</strong> the components Costs <strong>of</strong> incentives for the jerrycans per month and Urine varying<br />

transport costs continue with a rising N demand. However, this assumption is misleading. All<br />

individual components approach stable proportions 74 , as well are all affected by variations in<br />

the workloads <strong>of</strong> the systems. Lastly, the simulated steadiness supports pretty well the<br />

modularity <strong>of</strong> the logistics system.<br />

6.2.2.3 Urine and faeces logistics system design<br />

Since system A and B are alike regarding the urine logistics part, in this chapter additional<br />

components that have to be implemented to manage both kinds <strong>of</strong> separated human excreta<br />

are described. Figure 15 (p. 63) gives an overview <strong>of</strong> system B.<br />

Slum Level<br />

In the beginning <strong>of</strong> chapter 6.2.2.1 different toilet facilities have been presented. Those<br />

facilities are also the foundation <strong>of</strong> this system. Hence, the urine jerrycans will undergo the<br />

same process as described above. However, the faeces will be collected in containers that<br />

have to be designed with a proper lid and two handles, in order to allow an un<strong>of</strong>fending and<br />

easy transport, both having been indicated as crucial factors influencing the success <strong>of</strong> the<br />

logistics during the focus group discussions. The faeces containers also have to be stackable<br />

in order to reduce the area occupied for their storage. Furthermore, it could be considered to<br />

promote the containers as a starting point for low cost UDDTs on the household level (cf.<br />

chapter 6.2.2.1).<br />
