"Please do not flush toilet with foot"???

However, a better* solution exists: automatic toilets.
This reminds me of an excellent short by Mr Fireland: The Eternal Flush
How does that work? Every toilet I've seen has a pathetic dribble once all the water in the cistern has been consumed.

Most public toilets in the US are of the "tankless" variety that simply pipe a high volume of mains water directly into the toilet.

Wow which toilet is that? Can't be any public toilet in the lower 48, it's too clean!

You must have insane water pressure then. I think we only get like 9 litres per minute. My toilet's cistern is 4.5 litres - it takes about 5 seconds for a full flush, so you'd need at least 54 litres/minute to match that. Considering that the target water use is less than 200 litres per person per day, Fireland used up his entire allocation in less than 4 minutes! Decadent waste of water indeed.

I don't think it uses much more water than a tank, it's just fed by a large pipe so it can create good pressure. The principle is almost the same as a tank. I find it surprising that these are not common in Australia; they're a lot better for public restrooms.

But then where can I hide my drugs?

I've never seen one in real life. Besides, Australia has no water.

That's an easy one. Just design a toilet and sewer system that can handle salt water and you're good to go. Trust me, it's easy.
