Team "Blue Brigade", Social Innovation Award Winner
Founded by: Arindum, Raghav, Sufi, Ankit and Ashar (Class 7 & 8th)
Problem Identified: Excess amount of water is wasted from toilet flushes because the amount of water flush tanks use per flush is far more than what is necessary to flush a toilet fully.
Solution Implemented: Filled old plastic bottles with sand and gravel and put them in the flush tanks in the washrooms to reduce their volume from 10 litres to 8 litres. This was done to save 2 litres of water with every flush.
Impact Created: Placed bottles in 40+ flush tanks in 20+washrooms, saving 1,500+ litres of water everyday.
