Why is it so important not to flush the toilet after every trip to the toilet to urinate?

A gesture as ordinary as it is automatic, one we almost never question: flushing the toilet. Yet, simple urination doesn’t necessarily demand this reflex.

What if this small daily action was giving, without our knowledge, to significant water waste? It’s a surprising question, but one worth asking. What you’re about to discover might just make you rethink your routine…

Drinking water: a valuable resource that we waste without thinking
Every time you flush the toilet, between 3 and 9 liters of drinking water go straight down the drain. Perfectly clean, treated, priceless water – used only to flush away a few centilitres of urine. It’s like using a glass of Volvic to soak a paintbrush.

This daily waste often goes ignored. However, with around ten trips to the toilet per day for an average family, this wastes up to 100 liters of water per day , or more than 36,000 liters per year. In comparison, some countries in the world do not always have access to drinking water on a daily rountine.
