The Smart Water Meter Challenge is a special campaign aimed at saving water at schools across Cape Town through the installation of a water monitoring device called the Dropula.
The system monitors water usage and flow and provides information that can help inform opportunities to save water i.e. putting urinals on a timer to flush only during break time or shutting down certain taps at certain times of the day.
To date the system has saved over 35million litres of water for over 200 schools!
