30%less from 10Litres is still 7litres/flush.
(In Assam in my childhood - we used to go to the Bamboo Groves--+1 litre water
.And even this day when you travel by morning Taj Express Train from Delhi--
lines of men/women sit 1 metre apart with 1 litre water at hand).
If less water is used to flush down-they say bacterial digestion gets
diminished--which ultimately means more diarrhoea/cholera--- lots of people now
dying in Assam due to this.
And this needs much more water to flush per capita---because you go more often.
And that is what has killed the Yamuna at Delhi.
Bharalu's black discharge to PURE BLUE BRAHMAPUTRA is our total shame.
Some day the world will have to adopt my ElectroCoagulation Technology to:
Get Cheap Safe Bacteria- free, Smell/Iron/Fluoride/Hardness -free, good
-to-drink water from ANY water at each home
Remove all Pathogens and dissolved particulates from Yamuna/Bharalu-like
rivers/sewers before killing Lakhs downstreams.

toilet!
There is a japanese compnay called TOTO who specialises in toilet. They have
about 50% share in Japanese market. Their toilet uses about 30% less water
compared to others. it is getting popular outside Japan too.santanoo
