One of the pressing problems today is water wastage. Millions of litres of pure water are lost each day through thoughtless use—people fill bottles too full, neglect to hydrate properly (causing health problems), or simply throw away half-full bottles. That got me thinking: what if there was an easy device that not only conserves water, but also encourages healthy drinking habits? That's how the thought of AquaSaver crossed my mind.

AquaSaver appears like a normal fashionable water bottle but is constructed with intelligent sensors. It monitors your water consumption throughout the day, reminds you to hydrate, and notifies you when you're near overfilling the bottle. The bottle contains a purification filter within so remaining water can be reused without danger rather than be wasted. It also displays your hydration level, today's water consumption, and even presents community challenges (such as "Save 5 liters this week") to create awareness about water conservation.

Technically, AquaSaver can incorporate a capacitive water level sensor, a removable filter cartridge, and a Bluetooth chip with a connected smartphone. A rechargeable battery drives the system for weeks. The bottle itself is of eco-friendly material to prevent contributing to the plastic waste issue.

The advantages are twofold:

• For people – remaining healthier by drinking sufficient water every day.

• To society – minimizing wastage of water, a bottle at a time. Families, schools, and workplaces could implement AquaSaver in order to instill a culture of sustainability.

The stakeholders are:

• Users, who become healthier and save water costs.

• Families, who are taught environmentally friendly habits.

• Environmental organizations, which endorse conservation.

• Governments and policymakers, as it supports water-saving goals.

• Startups, which can develop and grow this innovation.

Water is not a resource—it's life. By bringing something such as AquaSaver into existence, we are able to make a simple everyday task—drinking water—into a movement toward sustainability. There will undoubtedly be obstacles—cost, upkeep, embracing—but if even a fraction of individuals utilize it, the effect on water conservation will be enormous.
