In celebration of World Water Day, innovations that assist in saving water are imperative, especially in South Africa. Global firm of engineers and scientists SRK Consulting has brought water-saving closer to home with an innovative web-based app that can get individuals to reduce their domestic water use – introducing fun and competition to the exercise. WaterWar is an app that goes beyond just calculating water use; it uses peer pressure as a motivator for saving water.
