Public Toilets In Different Countries

• Dual flush toilets - Invented in Australia in 1980, and available in more than thirty countries, are dual flush toilets, also known as duosets. Two buttons allow for the user to select between a flush for urine or feces. Because the density of urine is nearly equal to that of the water around it, it requires far less water to flush into a home's sewage system. Because most of a households' flushes are for urine, dual flush toilets can save a significant amount of water.
A toilet that pays its users has been opened in Musiri, Tamil Nadu, India. It is the first of its kind. The feces it receives are composted, and the urine is used as fertilzer for bananas and other food crops. Users are paid up to 12 U.S. cents a month.
Interactive urinals have been developed in several countries, allowing users to play video games while urinating. One example is the Toylet, produced by the Japanese company Sega, which uses pressure sensors to detect the flow of urine and translate it into on-screen action.
