In a move of fantastic lateral thinking, many toilets in Japan come with the sink built into the top of the cistern. Water from washing your hands fills up the tank so that it can flush the toilet. Not only does this save space, (you don’t need a separate sink) it also saves a huge amount of water because you’re making use of the sink water that would otherwise go down the drain.
