The temporary latrines used at construction sites are much the same, except that the "pit" is the bottom portion of the latrine, and the whole thing is hauled away to be emptied. I have seen parks where these "temporary" portable latrines are in year-round use, to spare the expense of having to install water supply pipes and sewers.<br>

IMHO the most important "front-end" experience is the distinction between standing and being seated (when it comes to toilet typology).</div>
