Water and waste
The purpose of the water pipe in a toilet system is to supply water to the toilet tank, which is necessary for flushing waste down the drain.
The toilet water may not go down due to a clog in the pipes, a malfunctioning flush mechanism, or a problem with the water level in the tank.
Water is allowed in from the cold supply line via a fill valve which close when required amount is in tank. Most tanks have a rubber 'flapper' valve over the outlet. When this is raised (as you press the lever) , the water in tank flows to the bowl and flushes it.
