Are there more flush toilets than pit toilets in the world?
Hello,
A deceivingly simple question went through my mind: globally, do we find more flush toilets or pit toilets? Intuitively, because a large part of the 2.5 billion people who don't have improved sanitation are using pit toilets, and because some of those with improved sanitation also have pit toilets, I would think that this kind would dominate, but I'm wondering if there is evidence about it somewhere!
Thanks, Rémi
