The world ditched wasteful toilets, the US stayed behind
US toilets use significantly more water than European models, and President Donald Trump is seeking to roll back 1992 water efficiency standards that limit toilet water use to 1.6 gallons per flush. Critics argue this would worsen water scarcity issues, particularly in drought-prone western states, while experts note modern toilets perform well and that older, inefficient models still waste billions of gallons.
