Save Water with Short Hair
For Hair Wash activity,
- [Woman with Short hair] needs less water compared to [Woman with long hair]
- That’s, estimated 100 buckets of water by one woman in a year
- Or About 2000 litres of water by one woman in a year
Short Hair means shoulder length or little more.
This solution can easily be adapted for the world to solve – Global water crisis problem.
Working Example:
Cape Town has water restriction of 50 litres of water per person per day.
Do you know Women in Cape Town are requesting salon owners or hair stylists to give them short hair cut? Just to save water…
You can confirm it by checking this site https://www.glamour.com/story/without-water-the-women-of-cape-town-are-redefining-self-care
The site clearly mentions this
“Salon owners and hair stylists are noticing an increasing number of women are getting shorter cuts, a request, they say, that is a response to the crisis.“

Generally, water taps are flowing with high volume of water than required.
Water tap with high flow |
Water tap with required flow |

Water tap has a defect.
Objective:
Water tap should not flow more than 6 liter water in a minute. Thus saving water. Continue reading
Save Water – Green Week – IIT Delhi
Your Well Wisher Program conducted a workshop on Save Water at IIT Delhi – Check Details
What design changes can save water? Can products be designed efficient to save water. For example, Wash basin should be foot controlled and can save water up to 70%. How it can be designed?
This video converted from ppt showcased in Green Week at IIT Delhi held on 22nd Aug 2015. Please share.
Save Water – Add Overflow marker and Volume indicator in Water bucket
This is suggested design for a water bucket that should save water. Estimated 20% water should be saved with such design.
Adding Overflow Marker: A simple red line drawn in circular on the top of the water bucket defines the problem of water wastage on water bucket.
Margin Space left on top level of bucket and overflow marker line is actual and immediate water saved with this design. It may be 1 or 2 litre water that is directly saved.
‘No Overflow’ Label: A simple label but attempts to resolve the problem. It makes user responsible towards water use as well.
Volume Indicator: A simple scale for volume of water at different levels in water bucket. This volume value tells the user every time how much water is being used. The measure of volume helps in analyzing and helps in understanding water significance. It is expected that user will tend to use less water with such volume measure available.
Here, scale in design is not actual measure and may differ with product design.
Business Opportunity: Water Bucket Manufacturers can make more profits with such product design. At the same time, it solves global water crisis problem.
