As South Africa continues to grapple with water shortages and aging sanitation infrastructure, a new industry body is stepping forward with what it believes is a practical and sustainable solution.
The South African Waterless Sanitation Systems Association SAWSSA has launched a nationwide drive to promote waterless sanitation systems, positioning them as a critical intervention in addressing both water scarcity and sanitation challenges across the country.
Waterless sanitation systems, which operate without the need for flushing water, are gaining attention as an environmentally friendly alternative-particularly in rural areas, informal settlements, and regions where traditional infrastructure is either strained or non-existent.
