Technology for Water


It seems as if we are taking away from our planets resources more and more as we see our lives getting easier through the constantly developing technology, so its always nice to know that there is technology out there working for the environment rather than against it. "ECONA", as its called, is a water-saving device that is said to "change the way you view your water consumption at home". Designed by Clara Descals (Valencia) and Emma Laurin (Sweden), the touch panel receives, stores and manages information about household water consumption. It then displays the info about the house, via the water-droplet shaped units, that warn you if you are using too much of that clear gold and how much you should be using.

The objective of this bluetooth-information-transferring device is to make we consumers more conscious of our water use at home. Its visual and graphic design is intended for ease of understanding by our little water consumers. The main control unit also has programmable software and a USB port that allows you to upload the information to your computer.
