Overview

During an hour of natural disaster, toilet facilities are often tend to be scarce making it difficult for the disaster struck people to attend the call of the nature. This makes people to dispose of their feces in public or lakes, tainting the environment and water, and leading to outburst of various diseases, such as cholera. Keeping these problems in mind, designer Rahim Bhimani has come up with Disaster Relief Toilet System to ease out the problem of disaster struck people.

Overview

A bidet is a low-mounted plumbing fixture which is fixed in a toilet. Bidets, however, are considered as a sort of luxury. They involve a separate installation, need space and also cost as much as the toilet. The extra plumbing effort and the masonry work are also there to be done. But once installed, they are a hygienic alternative to the paper rolls used for the same purpose. They also contribute to a greener life considering the fact that the US alone uses more than 34,000,000 rolls of paper a day! Nowadays, many toilets come with in-built bidets.
