Not only is the Earth's rotation too weak to affect the direction of water flowing in a drain, tests you can easily perform in a few washrooms will show that water whirlpools both ways depending on the sink's structure, not the hemisphere.
Into each "drain event" there are a whole lot of different factors that determine which way the water in a drain is going to spin, among them:
* The shape of the drain, and the basin the water is in
* Whether it is level or tilted
* Which direction the water is moving in when you open the drain |

Well it seems this is a bit like religion - everyone has different ideas - and examples to prove their beliefs.
When I went to America, the water definately drained in the opposite direction to Southern Hemisphere - this was obvious in the flat syle toilets of USA - bit harder to detect in our narrow outlets.
So I went on the internet just now to prove my findings and was surprised to find "evidence" both for and against.
If you go to this site it will claim, what I have always "known"
Naturally you believe what you saw with your own eyes as I did. But - well, now your question has provided another question for me, instead of the answer I had
http://library.thinkquest.org/18424/terms.html
However that is the only claim I could find to prove my point - I found a lot more that say - no it isn't true. So I have learnt something tonight |

Sometimes it runs clockwise, other times can be counter-clockwise. But is has nothing to do with the hemisphere you live in.
Check these links...really interesting information... |

No. It goes down the drain |

It doesn't flow "out of the bathtub", it flows down the drain.
The kangaroo makes sure of that. |

It's all the kangaroos fault. |

yep. the water comes out of the plug and goes back through the taps :) |
|
But Why??
|
it heads in a uni-lateral direction, then forms a perfect right hand break, with over-head barells. |
