thinking. The way we interface with other things is
changing. IoT is here to stay and Water supply and
usage, are not an exception.

Each family member will have to play the game,
with its own avatar. Once a day he will have to
connect and input its water usage.
Once your home avatar is created, is time to play
by inviting your friends, neighbors and family. The
avatar that achieves the 25% water save goal first
is the winner. Once you are there, you can then
compete at the next level, joining a group and
playing against a neighbor group. As you reach
the goal, you will be joining your block, city, and
or State, or your Country. The winners will
receive monetary prizes, provided by the Water
Utility Company.

14. HYDRO
We understand that expectation of cooperation
works, trying to do better every time. If a number of
groups are working together to reduce water
usage there may be more impetus and also some
social expectation to do your bit. People need to
feel that others are contributing too.
Research strongly suggests that gamification of
water dashboards might be a way of making
competition or cooperation more appealing.
HYDRO is a way to motivate people to tackle
complex tasks, to reduce drought, to save water, to
save money, to make millions peoples lives better.

15. HYDRO monetize
HYDRO will be played by every Californians,
becoming a good game, a useful social network.
The winners will obtain certain (TBD) prizes, and
those who don't play will be finned by the city,
unless they are under %25 saving program without
playing the game.
There are two sources of money:
1- The city will pay for those homes that are on
target,
2- The end-user will pay if it is not achieve.
3- The amount to be paid is the value of one 16.9oz.
purified bottled water, U$0,261 by month each
account.

California has 38 million people, and there are around
14 millions homes. We are planning to use 50% of our
profit in exponential technologies, in creating new
sources of water and Iot plumbing devices and
components.
Also IoT devices will be slowly incorporated into the
game, providing better chances to save more water.
All devices will be monitored on line by HYDRO, taking
also an active role in saving water, by closing taps,
reducing flow, etc. A HYDRO house could be totally
monitored by the game, and set up to be able to
consume a certain amount of water by month.

17. HYDRO goals
The first goal we are looking at, would be to have all
Californians convince that HYDRO will help them
saving money and fighting against drought.
Then, we would love to reach 25% water savings all
over the State.
Also we would like to see California playing against
some other States.
We would like to see IoT moving into appliances and
plumbing components and devices.
And last but not least, letting exponential
technologies to become a part of our lives and homes.
