Toilets are facilities designed for the disposal of bodily waste. Let’s explore the two types of toilets you mentioned:

1. Water closet (WC) or modern toilet: This type of toilet is commonly found in modern homes and buildings. It consists of a ceramic bowl connected to a drainage system. When flushed, water is used to carry the waste through pipes and into a sewage or septic system. Modern toilets often include a tank of water that can be activated by a lever or button to initiate the flushing process.

2. Pit toilet: Also known as a pit latrine or dry toilet, this type of toilet is commonly used in areas where there is no access to a sewage or water system. It consists of a hole or pit dug into the ground, usually with a simple shelter or structure built around it for privacy. Waste is deposited directly into the pit, and decomposition occurs naturally over time. Some pit toilets may have a simple ventilation pipe to reduce odors.

It’s important to note that there are various designs and variations of toilets worldwide, including flush toilets, composting toilets, squat toilets, and more. The type of toilet used can vary depending on cultural practices, infrastructure availability, and environmental considerations.

Remember, proper hygiene practices, such as handwashing, should always be followed after using the toilet to maintain cleanliness and prevent the spread of diseases.
