DESCRIPTION: "The Thirsty Fountain is a project to collect the water that is wasted and that runs off drinking fountains when one is drinking, (which our group has calculated to be about 7 fluid ounces of water for every 10 seconds that the drinking fountains are used) and reusing that water for practical uses i.e. Irrigation. The project also involves a social component, the water would be collected in clear containers as it runs off, so everyone that drinks can see the containers fill and be aware of how much water they are not putting to good use.
