SCAD Student's New Water Saving Design

ID students at the Savannah College of Art & Design are currently engaged in a hands-on project with local relevance: Helping a nearby vacation destination, Tybee Island, reduce its water consumption to preserve a local aquifer.

Vacationers flocking to Tybee's beaches have already found their beachside showers turned off, as the island undergoes a government-mandated reduction of water usage by 44,000 gallons a day.
To that end, SCAD students are devising systems to meet Tybee's needs using rainwater, bamboo, and even Astroturf. http://www.core77.com/
