If you want to conserve water, why flush just urine? That’s awfully wasteful. When I lived on the farm, the mantra was, “If it’s yellow, it’s mellow. If it’s brown, flush it down “

Of course, relying on trucked in water tends to make you conserve a little more, especially when the cistern is getting low and a truck can’t get out for a few days.
