What is claimed is: 1. A water diversion apparatus for a standard toilet having a fill standpipe, a float valve flushing mechanism connected to the fill standpipe and having a refill tube for delivering refill water from the standpipe to an overflow tube after flushing, comprising: a fitting operatively connected to a discharge tube and the refill tube, such that refill water is partially diverted by the fitting to the discharge tube; the discharge tube operatively connected to a container in the form of a cascade and pool having an artificial landscape, said artificial landscape incorporating water, the container having an inlet, a bottom, and an outlet, the partially diverted refill water being discharged into the inlet of the container by the discharge tube; and an outlet tube operatively connected to the container at the outlet. 2. The water diversion apparatus of claim 1, wherein the outlet is substantially in the bottom of the container. 3. The water diversion apparatus of claim 1, wherein the toilet includes a tank and the container is fluidly connected to the tank. 4. The water diversion apparatus of claim 1 wherein said partially diverted water flows over at least a part of the artificial landscape. 5. The water diversion apparatus of claim 1, wherein the container includes a scenic background. 6. The water diversion apparatus of claim 1, wherein the toilet includes a toilet lid and a base of the container is operatively engaged with the toilet lid. 7. The water diversion apparatus of claim 1, wherein the container further includes an inlet clamp to secure the discharge tube to the container inlet. 8. The water diversion apparatus of claim 1, wherein the container further includes mounting brackets for mounting the container. 9. The water diversion apparatus of claim 1, wherein the outlet tube is operatively connected to the toilet. 10. The water diversion apparatus of claim 9, further comprising an outlet clamp to secure the outlet tube to a toilet bowl. 11. A water diversion apparatus for a standard toilet having a fill standpipe, a float valve flushing mechanism connected to the fill standpipe and having a refill tube for delivering refill water from the standpipe to an overflow tube after flushing, comprising: a fitting operatively connected to a discharge tube and the refill tube, such that refill water is partially diverted by the fitting to the discharge tube; the discharge tube operatively connected to a container, the container being in the form of a decorative device, said decorative device including a cascade and pool having an artificial landscape and the container having a bottom, an inlet, and an outlet, the outlet located substantially in the bottom, the partially diverted refill water is discharged into the container at the inlet by the discharge tube; an outlet tube operatively connected at one end to the container outlet and at the other to the toilet; and the outlet tube including an anti-siphoning device located at a height above the bottom, such that the height of the anti-siphoning device controls a level of refill water in the container, whereby upon flushing, water is partially diverted from the toilet to the container, water exits the container at the outlet, and water flows through the outlet tube into the toilet.
