“…Similarly, in the sense of agriculture fields, today rely on fertilizers derived from inorganic minerals, such as phosphate destroy the fertile power of soil (Guedes et al, 2019). To minimize the depletion phosphorus and relative nutrients application of human urine in the school garden is one of the best solutions (Simha, & Ganesapillai, 2017). Regarding the use of eco-san toilet and application of human urine in the school garden, the dialogue conferencing between the teacher (second author) and the students, teachers, and parents is quoted like this:…”

“…Therefore, addressing issues concerning major point source pollution by identifying and implementing ecologically-sound treatment processes can ensure the better management of the surface water of Padma River. In such a situation, the government can implement Ecological Sanitation (EcoSan) as a sustainable approach which can also promote proper use of waste materials as fertilizer to agriculture 20 .…”

Padma is one of the largest rivers of Bangladesh, which has huge potential for fishery resources. Microbial pollution status of this riverine ecosystem has not been evaluated yet. Therefore, the present study was conducted to find out the bacterial pollution in sediment of this river. Four distinctive study locations were evaluated for three respective seasons in 2016. Enumeration of total heterotrophic bacteria (THB), total coliform (TC), fecal coliform (FC) and Vibrio cholerae were done by standard plate count technique from surface layer of sediment samples. Results revealed that all the samples were contaminated with THB, TC, FC and Vibrio cholerae with a range of 20.60×10 .07 cfu/g (Site-4 Talaimari), respectively. The bacterial density data had seasonality showing very high density during summer and winter seasons and the lowest in monsoon season. During the study period, it was observed that Site-2 (Padma Garden) and Site-3 (I-Dam) was comparatively more polluted with bacteria then other two sites. As per the criteria of sediment quality evaluation, the sediment of Padma River can be categorized as moderate to moderately high polluted with total heterotrophic bacteria, while very little polluted with fecal coliform bacteria. Therefore, the present study suggests a regular monitoring and assessment for reducing the bacterial load into the Padma River ecosystem through appropriate measures.

“…A dry system, such as ecological sanitation (Ecosan) which separates faeces and urine, or the pit latrine, eliminates the need for immediate evacuation and wastewater treatment by combining the toilet and storage and is commonly used in informal settlements, humanitarian situations, and rural areas (Simha & Ganesapillai, 2016). Peepoo bags lined with sanitising agent which breaks down excreta inside the bag to be reusable as fertilizer is also an alternative dry system which presents a sustainable alternative to open defecation, especially in informal settlements and humanitarian situations (Wirseen, Munch, Patel, Wheaton & Jachnow, 2009).…”
