-FINALIST of Waterless World Competition

 

The source of inspiration is the process carried out by the roots of trees to obtain water (osmosis). It consists of a pilot project which can be replicated in both urban and rural areas.

How can we live during an extreme water drought? what must we do to cope with water scarcity? By designing water collector devices as an alternative to manage and store rainwater. In addition, a series of amphitheatres will be placed in public spaces where water will be taken to the collection wells, thus providing quality spaces.

Furthermore, related to the control of excessive water consumption inside homes, it is concluded that bathrooms are the main consumers of water. In response to this, we propose toilets that work with air pressure instead of water, so the waste goes to a well and is collected with tanker trucks.
