A Kerala-based company is making next-generation public toilets affordable

The flush toilet as we know it today has been in use since 1775, when a Scottish watchmaker called Alexander Cumming patented it. It has changed little in its 239-year existence, if you discount the frills. Can technology that ancient tackle India's enormous toilet problem? The 2011 Census says nearly 12% of urban India does not have access to toilets, a number that rises to 22% for small cities with population less than 100,000.

How to give all these people access to a toilet without bankrupting the coffers, clogging the drainage system and emptying out the water supply of a city?

These are the questions Eram Scientific, an R&D social enterprise based in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, has set out to answer.
