The rural aqua privy upgrading project aims to improve the toilet environment and improve the quality of life of farmers. However, although the project provided farmers with septic tanks, septic buckets, squatting urinals and other facilities free of charge, it was met with dissatisfaction from farmers. This article will analyze the problems faced by the upgrading and transformation of rural aqua toilets and analyze the reasons behind them.
In rural areas, the population is scattered, so the capacity of the septic tank is very important. However, in the upgrading of traditional aqua privies, the capacity of septic tanks is often too small, resulting in the inability to meet the needs of long-term use. When the septic bucket is full, it is often difficult for farmers to deal with it in a timely manner, and it is even prone to overflow. To solve this problem, the capacity of the septic bucket needs to be increased and disposed of regularly to ensure ease of use and hygiene.
Aqua privies are upgraded and renovated to provide supporting facilities such as septic tanks, manure storage tanks, exhaust cylinders, etc., free of charge. However, while installation is free, pumping manure from septic tanks and drums comes at a high cost. Farmers generally believe that this kind of fees are too high and the quality of service is poor, and this problem needs to be strengthened by the relevant departments to ensure the quality of service and the reasonableness of the charges.
The experience of using aqua toilets in winter is poor, mainly because septic tanks and manure tanks are prone to freezing. In the north, cold winters often cause freeze in septic tanks and manure tanks that cannot be pumped, which is a problem for farmers. In order to solve this problem, aqua toilets used in winter need to take certain insulation measures to ensure the normal use of the facilities.
The upgrading of aqua toilets in rural areas is to improve the toilet conditions of farmers and improve their quality of life. However, farmers have expressed dissatisfaction with the provision of free aqua toilets. This involves problems such as the small capacity of septic tanks, the imperfect service guarantee system, and the difficulty of going to the toilet in winter. In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to pay more attention to the actual needs of farmers and strengthen management and services in the process of upgrading.
Behind the problem of upgrading aqua toilets is a reflection of our shortcomings in rural infrastructure construction. Not only aqua toilets, but also the construction of water, electricity, roads and other infrastructure in rural areas are also problems. In this regard, we should increase investment in rural infrastructure construction to improve the quality of life and happiness of farmers. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to and solve the social environment and institutional problems behind this problem, so as to ensure that the upgrading of aqua toilets can truly achieve the goal of improving the livelihood of farmers.
In the future, we should focus more on quality rather than quantity to ensure the stability and sustainability of infrastructure. At the same time, there is also a need to strengthen education and awareness raising for farmers, so that they understand the importance of sanitation and environmental protection, and work together to create a clean and tidy rural environment.
Through this discussion on the upgrading of aqua toilets, we can see that people's needs and feelings are diverse, and any policy and project needs to take into account the actual situation of the people. Only by truly solving problems from the perspective of the people can we better improve the living standards and happiness of the people. Let us work together to contribute to the development of rural areas and the well-being of farmers.
