H ave you ever thought about how toilets work? The T team has thought for you. This website showcases toilets as a sociotechnical system for social impact (hygiene and sanitation). To this end, the TTeam analyzed toilets’s technical components, how they work, and their social impact on societies. Our analysis is based on the different types of toilets used in China, Paraguay, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. Our findings show that toilets play a fundamental role in a society, including health and sanitation purposes. Therefore, we recommend an universal toilet that helps to address the social issues.

Please take a look at our menu where you can find:
Sociotechnical System page - observe our sociotechnical map followed by a description detailing our research project and the ways we analyzed the social impact of toilets
Technical Component page- learn the architecture and algorithm of how a standard flush toilet works
World Toilets- compare and contrast our different countries toilets and their social impact
Expert Discussion section- watch an excerpt of our conversation with Professor Bode about our project and ponder on different possible ways to study toilets
the ultimate toilet page- The design of future toilet that suit for every culture use.
Annotated Bibliography page- a list of sources and references we used to compile our project
and About T-Team- get to know our team members and the behind-the-scenes work that went into our topic and website.
