Inspiration

As a team, we know that we need to save water as individuals. We wondered, do businesses save water too?

How do we know which businesses save water?

So we decided to tackle how a business can monitor water usage and inform their customers.

What it does

• displays how much water is used
• displays ranking between businesses
• promotes water reduction through competition
• displays methods of water reduction for a given industry
• displays government targets, and how on track a particular company is

How we built it

• we created a website that displayed business rankings and an overlay widget that displayed example numbers, of a given business.

Challenges we ran into

• finding data, on pricing, and water acquisition by industry, and business.
• building a usable project, with correct numbers, and integration into business websight

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• we are proud of the teamwork we displayed, and our overall work ethic.
  • Everyone had a chance to suggest ideas, draw their own prototypes.

What we learned

• we have learned how water is utilized and handled in the hunter water region
  • we asked some customers what water practices they already use

What's next for Hydro-Neutral

• produce a way to more actively incentivize water use in times of high flow events
• produce an automated approach to input data, for company/business
  • Teach businesses how to save more water
