The principle is simple, human waste is deposited in a ceramic/porcelain/metal bowl containing water and is siphoned away when the toilet is 'flushed'. There are variations to the toilet bowl depending on water accessabilty, location and practicality. For example: Toilet with built-in bidet Chemical toilet Dry toilet (i.e. no water used for flushing) Pit toilet: very common in camping grounds. Also known as an outhouse. Composting toilet: Very commonly found in camping grounds in Europe, and large climbing parks. Also found in some modern ecologically designed buildings. Urine-diverting & dry composting: a source-separation toilet that keeps urine and feces separate and simplifies the composting process. Can also be called an eco-san (from ecological sanitation) toilet, and is a viable alternative to flush sanitation in urban areas. Incinerating toilet Tree bog: a system for converting human faeces to biomass Head: a toilet on a boat, which has a pump to bring cleaning seawater in and pump waste overboard or into a holding tank.
