Urination during bath can save water for comming generation




Recently environmental campaign have been launched for students at the university of East Anglia in Norwich, England. The campaign was to approach there change in usage of restroom and water. They tried to describe and bring a change to urinate at showers low water usage.
“We’ve done the maths, and this project stands to have a phenomenal impact,” said student Chris Dobson, who, along with Debs Torr, launched the “Go with the Flow” campaign at their school.
Almost 15,000 students at UEA, over a year we would save enough water to fill an Olympic-size swimming pool 26 times over,” he said.
Organizers urge participants to pledge their allegiance to the cause on Facebook and Twitter. Mr. Dobson and Ms. Torr have reportedly offered gift vouchers to the first people to join the challenge.
“Suppose there would be huge result  if we could get everyone in East Anglia, or even the U.K., to change their morning habits,”
He said the campaign so far has been very divisive. The group believe if the idea takes off, the project could have a "phenomenal impact".
“We’re trying to challenge conventional behavior,” said Mr. Dobson, adding that the team enlisted a university professor to advise them on potential health risks for people using communal showers.
“As long as the water is flowing, there is no hygiene risk as urine is sterile, but we would encourage that every person using the same shower consents to the challenge and, if not, that they don’t take part,” he said.
Mr. Dobson and Ms. Torr are representing their university in the Npower Future Leaders Challenge to inspire students to come up with environmental initiatives for their campuses.
A UEA spokeswoman said the university supported “students effort in these initiatives and encouraged all types of enterprising, entrepreneurial and employability activity.”
The campaign claims UEA could save £18,000 per year if all students on campus urinated at least once a day in the shower - and if the entire population of UEA took part, £125,000 per year could be saved.
The group claim if everyone in the UK joined in, they could save £430m in total per year, or 720 million litres of water.
