A survey made by Nature (Journal) revealed that about 80 percent of the world’s population lives in areas prone to water security threats. These water security threats if not treated on time can pose serious problems for human beings and nature as well. Various strategies are being employed to save water and drinking fountain by Eliel Cabrera is a similar step in the same direction.
The YBR_drinking fountain has been designed and integrated with the philosophy of the original project as a part of the YBR design range. It’s a cost-effective project with simple design crafted using minimal material. The body has been created using cast iron and painted with black forge Oxiron and phosphatizing primer for imparting anti-oxidant properties. The fountain combined with YBR sewer grate makes a complete set.
The fountain comes with the mechanism that gets activated by a button that controls water consumption. To save water, the mechanism automatically cut down the water supply after few seconds even if you had pressed the button. To reuse the fountain you just need to press the button again.
The fountain comes with 1000mm extension above the ground level and 100mm below the ground for fixing it firmly. The grating rest crafted in metal encase go well with the pavement. This creative design if implemented correctly can prove a great help to save water for tomorrow.
