'''When faeces are stored in the absence of moisture (i.e. urine) they dehydrate into a crumbly, white-beige coarse, flaky material or powder. Dehydration means that the moisture naturally present in the faeces evaporates and/or is absorbed by the addition of a drying material (e.g. ash, sawdust, lime).'''
Faeces should be kept as dry as possible. If by accident, water or urine enters mixes with the drying faeces, more ash, lime or dry soil can be added to help absorb the moisture. Prevention is the best way of keeping the faeces dry.
