A rural setting with two people, including a child wearing a red shirt, standing near a makeshift structure covered with a thatched roof. Clothes hang to dry on a line stretched between two trees. In the background, there are simple huts with straw roofs. A cart is partially visible under the shade of a large tree, while containers and buckets are scattered on the ground.

Water is something we all use—but rarely think about. From the time we brush our teeth in the morning to the food we eat at dinner, our water footprint grows silently in the background. Now, with climate change intensifying droughts and disrupting freshwater access, that silent impact is becoming urgent.

Enter LiquidLens: a community-first platform that turns invisible water waste into visible action.

🌊 What Is LiquidLens?

At its core, LiquidLens is a water-awareness tracker—a clean, no-code platform where users can log their daily activities and instantly see the water impact behind them. But it’s more than just data.

It’s a movement.

Each person gets a visual dashboard showing how many gallons they use per day, along with tips for reducing waste, like taking shorter showers or reusing laundry water. But what really makes LiquidLens special is the social component.

🔄 Turning Awareness into Action

Users can join weekly challenges, earn badges, and share progress cards online using #LiquidLensChallenge. Think of it as a fitness tracker—but for water. And just like with fitness, when people see their friends making progress, it motivates them to do the same.

A family might reduce their shower time by 15%.
A classroom could aim to cut daily water usage by 20%.
A rural community may use group data to apply for conservation grants.

That’s impact you can see.

💧 Why It Works

Water conservation often feels abstract. LiquidLens makes it personal, visual, and social—a formula that turns good intentions into real behavior change.

Plus, the platform is built using free, no-code tools like Google Forms, Glide Apps, and Canva, making it accessible for anyone with a smartphone or laptop—no download needed.
