As the tank water level drops, the float descends and actuates the fill valve.

Once the flapper valve closes, the water flow from the fill valve continues until the tank level again reaches the fill line.
English: A traditional gravity toilet tank concluding the flush cycle. As the water level in the tank drops, the flush valve flapper falls back to the bottom, stopping the main flow to the flush tube.
