Design Details:

These days water pollution and unnecessary use of water is making more and more problems for humans and all the other lives on our Earth. Having enough clean water has become an anxiety about the future of the planet.

One of the usual situations of wasting water is during taking showers. Many people are used to keep the water on all the time of showering even when it is not necessary (i.e. when using shampoo and soap). Repeating this wrong manner in our life, we are getting used to inappropriate attitudes, so it is much better to prevent these attitudes from early ages.

Here, I am presenting a new device, LUCKY, to encourage kids to save water during taking showers and start to appreciate the water that they daily use.

LUCKY is designed for 6 to 10 year old kids. In these ages they start to learn about their daily affairs so it is a suitable time to start considering environmental issues.

LUCKY is baths tap as well as shampoo container. Water will be on and off by turning LUCKY. When water is on, kids cannot use the shampoo, because the shampoo button is locked. Only by turning off the water using shampoo is possible. Therefore, kids will follow a primary principle in using water; Just for necessary usage!
