Hypothesis

People waste water because they don’t see the impact in real-time. If taps display wasted water, people will immediately change their behavior.

Test Method

  • Instead of building hardware, we simulated it with a concept video prototype showing the tap + counter idea. We want to implement it in a way to use human behaviour instead of brute forcing rules. The counter will show the amount of water wasted.
  • This will definitely reduce water waste each time user knows that "oh! I'm wasting a lot of water for a simple hand wash i need to do better next time and reduce waste". This kinda though will make people re-think each time using water. The main sector for this is public sectors where people waste with no consciousness so let's introduce consciousness.
  • We asked our classmates if they will try to reduce waste of they saw how much they didn't use in reply we got mostly "if I'm seeing a number of course I'm gonna think about it".

What worked

The counter clearly shows waste, and users react quickly.

What didn’t

It’s just a simulation for now, needs real IoT/hardware.

How We Used AI

HydroPulse doesn’t just simulate water flow, we integrated AI-powered efficiency analysis. The AI estimates:

  • Water saved vs. wasted in real-time.
  • User awareness level (low, medium, high) based on interaction.
  • Response efficiency formation trends by modeling user behavior.
