“Innovative Water Efficient Showerhead Design Competition” Award Ceremony was successfully held on 17 Oct 2020. Congratulations to all winners!
The “Roving Exhibition of Winning Entries” which recognises winners’ outstanding performance will soon be launched. Please stay tuned for the latest announcement!
Water is an indispensable resource in human life. Nevertheless, less than 1% of all water resources on Earth are fresh water that is suitable for direct use. With rapid global population growth, economic development, climate change and pollution, the scarce fresh water resources are in imminent crisis. Water conservation is therefore imperative!
The average daily domestic fresh water consumption per capita in Hong Kong is about 130 litres and most are consumed for bathing. Apart from taking a quicker shower to reduce water consumption, shower with a water-efficient showerhead is a more effective and eco-friendly way to reduce water consumption. “Innovative Water Efficient Showerhead Design Competition” (the “Competition”) is one of the significant programmes of the Campaign, which is also the first eco-friendly showerhead design competition in Hong Kong. WSD strives to gather innovative showerhead designs through the Competition to inspire the contestants and the public with new ideas on water conservation and promote the use of water saving devices. Using water efficient devices allows one to enjoy shower and make an effort in environmental protection by saving water at the same time. Water saving is just that easy!
* Age of entrants will be calculated as of the application deadline of Competition.
