The document discusses ways to reduce water waste from long showers among students. It notes that the average 5-minute shower uses 15-25 gallons of water, and showers longer than 10 minutes use around 40 gallons. Only 1% of the world's water is freshwater, so there is high demand for the limited supply. The proposed solution is to create a system that turns red after a certain number of gallons have been used as a nudge to encourage shorter showers without forcing the water to stop.

Too many students waste multiples gallons of fresh water a day,
Washing Hands
Flushing Toilets
Refilling Water Bottles
Showering

This map shows the average exposure of water users in each country to water stress, the ratio of total
withdrawals to total renewable supply in a given area.
Higher percentage means more water users are competing for limited supplies.

Solution: Create a system that turns a red color which would signal that you have wasted a certain
amount of gallons of water. (Option to stop but not necessarily (#nudge))
