Discharge - to - soil methods, a
simple hole dug in the ground under an
outhouse, for example, have been used for many years.
 Participating families added a dedicated bedroom to their adobe and stone house compounds. These
simple rooms include two beds with mattresses made of totora reed harvested from the lake;  woolen blankets, and homespun cotton sheets. Dinner and breakfast may be provided by the family, or visitors may eat in the village.  Water is provided in ceramic jugs drawn from a well. Visitors use
outhouses located adjacent to the house compound.  The views to the star - filled sky at night, and to the 20,000 - foot peaks of the Royal Range add to the experience of peace and tranquility.
