Domestic Water Meter: A droplet saved is a droplet made!

By Attitude on Environment

























The philosophy of water conservation is simple and uncomplicated. Every instant you save a drop of water, you automatically create one. It is obviously evident that we have absolutely no commercial ability to create water and even till today take the assistance of some of the most expensive technology in the world to help create a shower. Fresh water resources are scarce on this planet and I have almost got tired of reminding people that only 2-3% of the planet's surface is filled with fresh water. With most of that being locked away in the polar ice caps, we have very little to work with.

This is exactly the reason why water conservation has become such an essential and important issue in the past decade or two. Domestic Water measuring unit is a device that can be attached to standard tap and shower fittings in our homes. The unit accurately measures the water consumption from a single outlet and by increases user awareness may help reduces water consumption. The consumption is measured by an internal turbine and sensor and the water usage is displayed in liters on an LCD screen. The unit also includes an internal generator that recharges the batteries as the unit operates, therefore no battery replacement is necessary. (more)
