The #LiquidLensChallenge

Empowering communities to manage water usage effectively and sustainably.

A woman in a yellow patterned dress is operating a manual water pump in an outdoor rural setting. She is smiling and looking at the camera while the pump dispenses water into a metal pot through a blue sieve. Two recycled tires are repurposed above the pump, possibly for structural support or as part of the design. The background includes a few trees and a simple structure made of logs.

Purpose of the Challenge:

To empower individuals, families, and schools to:
• Understand their daily water impact
• Take simple, meaningful steps to reduce water use
• Join a collective movement for resilience and conservation

A water tap is mounted on a concrete platform outdoors, with water running into a yellow plastic jerry can. Another jerry can is placed on the ground nearby, and a small wooden stool is visible in the corner. The area is wet with patches of mud and dirt.

How It Works:

1 Log Your Water Use

◦ Designed to work on basic smartphones or even shared community devices.
2 Try Water-Saving Tips
◦ Users receive clear, personalized suggestions like:
Reduce shower time by 20%
Cook with less water
Turn off taps while brushing
◦ Tips are rural-friendly and low-cost.
3 Join the Leaderboard

◦ Friendly competition encourages consistency and improvement.
4 Share Progress
◦ Users receive digital or printable progress cards (made in Canva).
