Prevalence of household toilets in rural areas of Zhejiang Province
Objective To investigate the prevalence of household toilets in rural areas of Zhejiang Prov-ince and the reasons for not improving toilets,so as to provide a basis for further carrying out rural toilet improve-ment work.Methods The Zhejiang Provincial Rural Toilet Improvement Information Management System was used to conduct an on-site household survey of registered farmers in the province,and toilet information data were collected by household and analyzed statistically.Results A total of 11.41 million farmers were surveyed,and the penetration rate of harmless sanitary toilets in rural areas across the province in 2021 was 99.90％.The main type of sanitary household toilets was the complete sewer type,with a total of 9.529 million(84.35％)house-holds,followed by the three-compartment septic tank type accounting for 15.57％.There were 102,700 house-holds in which toilet improvement was not required,accounting for 0.90％of the total households in the province,and there were 11,000 households in which toilet improvement was required,accounting for 0.10％.Conclusions In 2021,rural areas of Zhejiang Province achieved full coverage of harmless sanitary toilets.The full implemen-tation of the"Zhejiang's Green Rural Revival Program"is an experience-based approach to promoting rural toilet improvement work.The reason for a few households'failure in toilet improvement is mainly financial difficulties,so those households need to be taken as the focus for future toilet improvement work.
