Hydrologic is a project within Illinois Enactus, a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit. Hydrologic aims to implement low flow showerhead technology into University Housing, the housing department at UIUC to bring attention and action to the conservation of water on the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign campus. The goal of this project is to create a custom low-flow and leak resistant shower head that the university can adopt in place of their current standard dormitory shower heads. By introducing a new low-flow shower head to the university dorms, this project hopes to educate university residents of the benefits of low-flow shower heads while not diminishing their shower experience -- thereby furthering the conversation of water conservation. 

Concurrently, this project would reduce the university’s water consumption and in parallel their water bill and the environmental impact the school has. As of 2020, the Lincoln Avenue Residence Hall consumed 5,880 kilogallons of water over the one year -- according to the university’s Energy and Billing System -- and for better reference the average person will drink ~200 gallons of water over a year. Consequently, the university would be capable of reducing their water consumption by 860,000 gallons per day with a campus wide implementation.
