I am watching this funny show and it got me to thinking. I don't know where water goes when the toilet is flushed. On this show doug says it goes to the ocean. If this is true than what is god's name am I doing eating fish and things from the sea.......LOl this would be funny right? ....Have a great day!

It's all filtered, broken down, and processed before it reaches the ocean, so at least the fish don't have to worry about US! cd

If you have a septic tank it goes into your septic tank and then is filtered out through laterals into your yard and down into the water table eventually after filtering through the ground...Every so often the septic has to be cleaned because only the LIQUID goes out of it into the laterals....(long long underground pipes which are filtered through rock, sand, etc, before running back into the water table again) If you live in the city it goes to your sewers and then into a water cleaning facility and then out into rivers

It goes to the sewer treatment facilities before it is released to God knows where...But, at least it gets treated first...

if you live in city then, these water just flowing down into water tunnel that you see along roadside and finally to rivers after removing all these fecal matter, if you are living in Country side then it is going to deep dung where they evaporate and decay in a deep hole, and water goes to water table. Water evaporates again goes again to your basic work of cooking, washing and flushing.Now that's the life cycle of water for humans.
