Long-lived and healthy wetlands and forests are examples of sustainable biological systems.

A urinal (pronounced or) is a sanitary plumbing fixture for urination only, predominantly used by males.

It can take the form of a container or simply a wall, with drainage and automatic or manual flushing, or without flush water as is the case for waterless urinals.

A toilet is a sanitation fixture used for the storing or disposal of human urine and feces.

In developed countries, different forms of porcelain flush toilets are common: seats are usually used in the West while squat toilets are common in East Asia.

These are connected to a sewer system in most urban areas and to septic tanks in less built-up areas.

In many developing countries, especially in rural areas, dry toilets such as pit latrines and composting toilets remain common.

Dry toilets are usually placed in outhouses, i.e. not inside the dwelling, and are ideally located away from sources of drinking and bathing water.

A sink—also known by other names including sinker, washbowl, hand basin and wash basin—is a bowl-shaped plumbing fixture used for washing hands, dishwashing, and other purposes.

Sinks have taps (faucets) that supply hot and cold water and may include a spray feature to be used for faster rinsing.

They also include a drain to remove used water; this drain may itself include a strainer and/or shut-off device and an overflow-prevention device.

Sinks may also have an integrated soap dispenser.

A tap (also spigot or faucet: see ) is a valve controlling the release of a liquid or gas.
