There are many things to learn in Waste Water Sanitation class but we only focus on two big ideas are Self-Composting Toilet and Wetland. We did a lot of research and learn many things from our classmate. Our goals in this exploration are to solve the problem about our school constructed wetland. We also want to make our own design on self-composting toilet.
When we learn about wetland we were learn with one expert from Wetlands Work name Solyka. She told us a lot about wetland and how it work and what are some benefit about wetland. We also went to Free The Bear to visit the constructed wetland that Wetlands Work built. Solyka is our guide she explain how does it works and what materials that use to build it up.
Our class have a night trip that went to Kampong Chhang. At Kampong Chhang we went to floating area to see how do people that live at there using their toilet and interview some family that they use self-composting toilet. When we interview people at there most of them use simple toilet that straight away to the river and when they need water to cook or shower they use that water. Some people said that they don’t want to use self-composting toilet because they need to do a lot of work so they think it better or them to use a simple one.
After we collect all the information our class had make a design for new wetland and we also make a prototype of new self-composting toilet.
