• Toilet bowls valves
Traditional squat and sitting toilets, which contribute to water wastage, have been replaced with more efficient water-saving appliances. In 2024, Walailak University upgraded to dual-flush toilets, which conserve more water compared to single-flush models that use 6 liters per flush. Dual-flush toilets feature two buttons: a smaller button for liquid waste, using 3 liters per flush, and a larger button for solid waste, using 6 liters per flush.
