Mbudzi 19 gore rega rega iNyikaChimbuziZuva. Sangano reInternational Toilet Organisation pazuva iri rinoita mabasa ekuzivisa vanhu kuti pachine vanhu mabhiriyoni maviri nemazana mashanu pasi rose vasina dziviriro ine hutsanana. Asi kune avo vedu vanogona kunakidzwa nezvimbuzi zvechizvino-zvino, takambonyatsonzwisisa kwakabva zvimbuzi here?
Hazvizivikanwe kuti ndiyani akagadzira chimbuzi pakutanga. Vokutanga vaScots nevaGiriki vaiti ndivo vakatanga kugadzira, asi hapana humbowo. Kare 3000 BC munguva yeNeolithic, pakanga paine murume ainzi Skara Brae mudunhu reScotland. Akavaka imba nematombo ndokuvhura mugero waienda kukona yemba. Vanyori vezvakaitika kare vanotenda kuti chigadzirwa ichi chaiva chiratidzo chevanhu vepakutanga. Kutanga kwekugadzirisa dambudziko rechimbuzi. Around 1700 BC, muKnossos Palace muCrete, basa uye dhizaini yechimbuzi yakawedzera kujeka. Mapombi evhu akanga akabatanidzwa negadziriro yemvura. Mvura yaitenderera nemumapombi evhu, ayo aigona kuburitsa chimbuzi. Basa remvura.
Pakazosvika 1880, Muchinda Edward weEngland (akazotevera Mambo Edward VII) akahaya Thomas Crapper, mupfuri wemvura aizivikanwa panguva iyoyo, kuti avake zvimbuzi mudzimba zhinji dzehumambo. Kunyange zvazvo Crapper inonzi yakagadzira zvigadzirwa zvakawanda zvine chokuita nechimbuzi, Crapper haasi iye muvambi wechimbuzi chemazuva ano sezvinofunga munhu wose. Ndiye akatanga kuita kuti chimbuzi chake chiziviswe kune veruzhinji chakaita imba yekuratidzira kuitira kuti kana veruzhinji vange vaine zvimbuzi zvekugadzirisa kana kuda zvekushandisa vaibva vangofunga nezvake.
Nguva iyo zvimbuzi zvetekinoroji zvakasimuka chaizvo yaive muzana ramakore rechi20: mavharuvhu, matangi emvura, uye mapepa echimbuzi (akagadzirwa muna 1890 uye akashandiswa zvakanyanya kusvika 1902). Zvigadzirwa izvi uye zvisikwa zvingaita sezvidiki, asi zvino zvinoratidzika kuva zvinhu zvinokosha. Kana uchiri kufunga izvozvochimbuzi chemazuvanohazvina kunyanya kushanduka, saka ngatitarisei: Muna 1994, Paramende yeBritain yakapasisa Mutemo weEnergy Policy, waidawo vanhuwo zvavo.chimbuzi chekugezesakungoburitsa marita 1.6 emvura panguva, hafu yeyaimboshandiswa kare. Gwaro iri rakashorwa nevanhu nekuti zvimbuzi zvizhinji zvakanga zvakavharwa, asi makambani anoona nezvehutsanana akabva atanga kugadzira zvimbuzi zviri nani. Aya masisitimu ndiwo aunoshandisa mazuva ese, anozivikanwawo seazvinochimbuzi commodezvirongwa.
