Modern toilets with dual flush buttons help conserve water efficiently. The larger button uses 6–9 liters for solid waste, while the smaller one uses 3–4.5 liters for liquid waste,
saving significant water.
How They Work:Dual flush toilets have two buttons or levers. The larger button handles bigger flushes, and the smaller one is for lighter flushes.Why It Matters:Switching to dual flush toilets can save
households up to 20,000 liters of water annually. Though slightly more expensive, they are eco-friendly and efficient.Origins:First proposed by Victor Papanek in 1976, dual flush systems were implemented in Australia in 1980.Tips for Use:Use the smaller button for liquid waste and the larger one for solid waste to maximize water conservation.
