Good for you for considering a waterless urinal for your home. If you chose to do so, I’d be interested to hear your feedback!

Thank you, John. It was remarkable to witness the reactions of some of the visitors–both children and adults–when they understood the meaning of the installation. You are correct that most people have not been educated about the extent of our indirect water consumption. I hope to undertake similar activities elsewhere to continue raising awareness. Wendy

Congratulations. Your method of representing the embedded water content certainly is spectacular and I would expect eyeopening for the audience. While we’re all expected to be concerned about and minimise the greenhouse gas emissions that we are responsible for creating as part of our daily lives and as consumers of products and services, there is no equivalent fervour or impetus for us to be likeminded about our aggregate water footprint. The water conservation focus is generally confined to domestic direct water use and the water use efficiency of shower heads, cisterns, dishwashers, etc, but most people have little awareness of the (comparatively) enormous indirect water consumption they are responsible for as a consequence of their consumption of goods and services. Your efforts will improve consumer awareness of water footprints and hopefully change consumer behaviour/decisions appropriately. Best wishes.

This is the nee of the hour to make people recognise their needs and how we misuse this precious resource unmindfully. Keep it up. Always by your side to propagate what you want to bring to the notice of the masses.God bless you with the best of health and vigour .

I recommend waterless urinals. My husband has used them and, while at first was taken back, he finds them pretty cool. And ever since his first time, he has seen them all over the place. I believe the brand he sees out there is called Waterless (the actual brand). I did some research and while there are others out there, this one seems very simple. I read that one urinal can save up to 45000 gallons per year. That is crazy. Of course, I am sure that depends on the amount of men that use the urinal, but still amazing! Now the question is, do I install one in our home…I am thinking yes.
