Hyderabad will make a new kind of environmentally friendly toilet.

The toilets were developed with technology supported by the Gates Foundation.

Reflow will work with T-Works and the Telangana government to manufacture them.

The first toilets in India were installed at Lumbini Park.

They can clean and reuse the same water several times.

Solar power runs them, so they do not need a regular electricity connection.

They can also be moved to different places.

Officials said the toilets could be useful where normal water and electricity systems are not available.
