World Water Day

This came from Core77website. Thought may be something to watch since hurricane season in coming up in a couple of months. Water can get pretty scarce and hygiene is a must after any kind of natural disaster. So this video shows a great way to conserve water, while keeping up the hygiene.

Happy World Water Day! Tippy Tap has a simple design solution to a big problem affecting health and well-being in developing countries. Watch the video below to learn more about the Tippy Tap and build your own.

The tippy tap is a hands free way to wash your hands that is especially appropriate for rural areas where there is no running water. It is operated by a foot lever and thus reduces the chance for bacteria transmission as the user touches only the soap. It uses only 40 millilitres of water to wash your hands versus 500 millilitres using a mug. Additionally, the used "waste" water can go to plants or back into the water table.
