Waterfarm Bathroom System Submitted by Joao Goncalves, Industrial Designer Description: a steam harvesting system Designer’s statement: Nowadays, about two-thirds of the water we spend at home is used in the bathroom. The Waterfarm Bathroom System isn’t about reducing the water you spend… instead it goes to the core of the issue and allows you to produce the water you spend, and therefore saving the world’s water resources! It consists in bathroom equipment - toilet, bathtub and washstand – capable of gathering and filtering the humidity in the room, and then condensing into water; this water is then filtered again, and goes to container(s) from where water is taken as it’s needed. You can re-use the water you waste, because it also goes to microfiltration and UV filters, but contaminated water and chemicals will go to plumbing system and sewage. Consequently, it also acts as a dehumidifier preventing damp walls and ceiling. This system would be connected to electricity, and perhaps in the future we’ll see all buildings solar-powered and with this system built-in –each building would be self-sufficient producing it’s own water and electricity!
