   A plastic bucket fitted with a toilet seat for comfort and a lid and plastic bag for waste containment. A bucket toilet is a basic form of a dry toilet whereby a bucket (pail) is used to collect excreta. Usually, feces and urine are collected together in the same bucket, leading to odor issues.

3. Flush toilet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flush_toilet

   A flush toilet (also known as a flushing toilet, water closet (WC); see also toilet names) is a toilet that disposes of human waste (i.e., urine and feces) by collecting it in a bowl and then using the force of water to channel it ("flush" it) through a drainpipe to another location for treatment, either nearby or at a communal facility.

4. Maceration (sewage) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maceration_(sewage)

   Maceration, in sewage treatment, is the use of a machine that reduces solids to small pieces in order to deal with rags and other solid waste.Macerating toilets use a grinding or blending mechanism to reduce human waste to a slurry, which can then be moved by pumping.

5. Dual flush toilet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_flush_toilet

   The toilet has two buttons on the cistern rather than the single-flush one; one button delivers a lesser amount of water (eg. 3 litres) and the other a greater amount (eg. 6 litres). [7] It also uses a larger 10 cm trapway in the bowl, allowing for water to come out faster and clear the bowl efficiently.

6. Baffle (heat transfer) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baffle_(heat_transfer)

   In this case the baffle helps increase the efficiency of the stove as more heat leaves the gas before it exits. The baffles prevent the rotational flow without affecting radial or longitudinal flow. The tank is provided with baffles which prevent swirling and vortex formation. Except in very large tanks, four(4) baffles are placed.

7. Dry sump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_sump

   A dry-sump system is a method to manage the lubricating motor oil in four-stroke and large two-stroke piston driven internal combustion engines. The dry-sump system uses two or more oil pumps and a separate oil reservoir, as opposed to a conventional wet-sump system, which uses only the main sump (U.S.: oil

8. Sump pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sump_pump

   Sump pumps are used where basement flooding may otherwise happen, and to solve dampness where the water table is near or above the foundation of a structure. Sump pumps send water away from a location to any place where it is no longer problematic, such as a municipal storm drain, a dry well, or simply an open-air site downhill from the building (sometimes called "pumping to daylight").

9. Low-flush toilet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-flush_toilet

   A low-flush toilet (or low-flow toilet or high-efficiency toilet) is a flush toilet that uses significantly less water than traditional high-flow toilets. Before the early 1990s in the United States, standard flush toilets typically required at least 3.5 gallons (13.2 litres) per flush and they used float valves that often leaked, increasing their total water use.
