Three students Royston, Sagar and Amna from St. Paul’s School, Dharwad, Andhra Pradesh have devised a new solution for saving water. Almost in all the hotels & lodges
unnecessary water is wasted every day. When an individual has to take a bath, one doesn’t get hot water immediately. In order to get hot water, almost two buckets of water is wasted every day.

This does not make any sense when we are facing immense scarcity of water everywhere in our country. Royston shared his experience of a stay at a lodge which had 35 rooms altogether, and one bucket which contain 20 litres of water, and if two buckets of water is wasted by each room occupant, it equals to 370 gallons of water being wasted. As a matter of fact this is happening in almost all the lodges in our country.

The team visited various centres, facilities and lodges to understand and come up with a solution. These days there is a huge scarcity of water everywhere in the world. Therefore, using and saving water sensibly is good for the planet. Till now saving water is being overlooked by everyone.

The team came up with a device which detects the temperature of the water in pipes and is directly stored in underground tank from which water can be reused. The innovation is developed using microprocessors, 107 components, sensors and actuators.

The team wishes to incorporate the system into the plumbing system in buildings which are under construction and also for existing buildings.
