A toilet manufactured before 1980 might use 5 to 8 gallons per flush (gpf), which means that each of the home's residents might be flushing 48 gallons of water down the drain daily. By contrast, a toilet built to 1992 standards uses 1.6 gpf, and the average flusher uses about 9.1 gallons of water daily.
Some examples of monocots are garlic, onions, corn, wheat, rice, asparagus, sugarcane, lilies, orchids and grass, while tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, beans, peas, clovers, apples and pears are different kinds of dicots.
