About Flush it

Solution

  The team drew inspiration from the classic story of the crow dropping pebbles into a pot to raise the water level. They implemented a simple yet impactful solution: Filled water bottles with pebbles and sand and placed them inside flush tanks. This reduced the volume of water per flush, effectively saving around 2 litres per use. The concept was shared and applied in homes and neighborhoods after facing institutional barriers to school demonstrations. Future plans include: Designing a toilet seat with a movable bowl and pedal, Resizing the water tank, and Modifying the U-band structure for better efficiency.  

Additional Info

Impact: The solution is frugal, replicable, and instantly actionable. It's designed to empower children and communities to adopt water-saving techniques with minimal effort and cost.
