'''Jerrycans are light, plastic containers that are readily available and can be easily carried by one person. When sealed, they can be used to safely store or transport urine.'''
===Design Considerations=== On average, a person generates about 1.5L 2 L of urine a day although ; however, this quantity may very vary significantly depending on the climate and fluid consumption. A family of 5 can be expected to fill a 20L Jerrycan 20 L jerrycan with urine in approximately two 3 to 4 days. The urine It can then either be either stored on site or immediately transported immediately. If the jerrycan is directly connected to the toilet or urinal with a pipe, care should be taken to minimize its length since precipitates will accumulate. Pipes should have a steep slope (> 1%), no sharp angles, and large diameters. They should be easily accessible in case of blockages. Because jerrycans quickly fill up and need to be frequently exchanged or emptied, the use of a large Storage Tank/Container should be considered for primary collection of the urine. The stored urine can then be filled into jerrycans (e.g., using a small pump) and transported to the fields.
===Appropriateness===
A well-sealed jerrycan is an effective way of transporting urine over short distances. It is inexpensive, easy to clean and reusable. This type of transport is only appropriate for areas where the points of generation and use (i.e., homes and fields) are close together, and where relatively small quantities of urine are produced. Otherwise, a more formalized and efficient collection and distribution system is necessary. For compounds or communities with urine-diverting systems, for example, it may be more appropriate to have a large urine storage tank that can be emptied by such means as [[Motorized Emptying and Transport | Motorized Emptying and Transport]] (C.3). Jerrycans can be used in cold environments (where urine freezes) as long as they are not completely filled. In warmer months the stored urine can be used when it is needed for agriculture.
===Upgrading===
If urine is viewed as a commodity, locally run businesses may collect and transport it for free or for a small fee.
