R-hive-campaign for rainwater harvesting
R-hive acts as a catchment of water & depict the potential of using rain water effectively.
By 2030,India’s water demand is projected to be twice the available supply.There is a lack of awareness and effective campaigns that encourage people to take up rainwater harvesting. R-hive is water catchment installation that conveys the message of the rainwater harvesting campaign. An app guides and assists the user through the process of strategic placement of the installation in their balcony or chajja.It understands rainfall in your area and alerts user when the container is full.It connects users to the community of product owners.The installation aims to trigger conversations around water conservation and motivate people to take up traditional rainwater harvesting practices.We hope to bring to light the benefits and the impact of rain water harvesting through our product.If a small installation like r-hive can prove beneficial, imagine how a large scale rain water harvesting system can save a community.
