Change language:
The new Hungarian invention called Gris was awarded in the IF Design Award Competition in Hannover – Szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu reported. The invention was developed by Alberto Vasquez, a student at Moholy-Nagy University of Art (MOME). Actually, the Gris is not his first development that the public noticed. This Prize-winner invention is able to collect 90% of our bathwater to reuse it for the toilet. Honestly, it really does matter that we use 40 liters of clear or gray water for the toilet.
Gris was invented as a school project and tries to find a solution for the problems of the developing countries. The name of this excellent invention means grey in Spanish in association with grey water. Although Hungary is rich in spring water, there are a lot of other countries where water-saving methods are highly important. South-American countries are good examples for this where huge amounts of water are continuously wasted due to outdatedusage of water. However,it is utmost important to save water since it is not infinite.
In Columbia, for example, the biggest problemfor the families is how to pay the water charges. Since the climate is hot, people would take a shower 2-3 times a day. Furthermore, Columbia is one of those countries which have wasted the most: people there use about eight-ten liters of clear water for each toilet pulls.
