Around 1 million liters ( 264,172 gallons ) of urine are spilled onto the floor and walls of public restrooms each day in the U.S. Scientists have proposed a new urinal design that could significantly reduce this spillage.
Urinals have not changed much since they started becoming popular in 19th-century Europe , as part of growing public health reforms in fast-growing cities.
The researchers' Cornucopia and Nautilus designs both achieved a significant reduction in urine splashing.
