The proportions <strong>of</strong> the different components related to the total costs <strong>of</strong> system B are<br />
visualised in Figure 16. The major contributors to the costs <strong>of</strong> the respective scenarios are the<br />
Monthly urea costs (21%, 27% and 31%) 80 , Urine varying transport costs (24%, 20% and<br />
23%), the Urine fix transport costs – monthly depreciation (16%, 14% and 14%) and the<br />
Costs <strong>of</strong> incentives for the jerrycans per month (9%, 11% and 13%). Since not existing in<br />
system A, the effect <strong>of</strong> the urea costs for the sanitisation <strong>of</strong> the faeces becomes visible. Being<br />
the major proportion in this comparison the dependency <strong>of</strong> the system on synthetic fertiliser<br />
and their price variations has to be kept in mind. Similar to system A, the major cost<br />
contributors from system B are also approaching stable proportions which can be explained<br />
by the effects <strong>of</strong> economies <strong>of</strong> scale. The slight variations <strong>of</strong> all values involved are the<br />
consequence <strong>of</strong> changing workloads.<br />
80 The values in the brackets are related to small scale I, small scale II and large scale, respectively.<br />
