Problem Statement:

"The designed product can save over 1.5 Lakh liters of fresh water in one urinal pan in a year. The amount that is currently wasted in a single urinal for flushing can support the drinking water need of 14 falimies for over a year. By adopting Zerodor, the water foot print in the urban and peri urban areas can be reduced drastically in the longer run which in turn can greatly impact the life of the people who don't have access to fresh water. "

Detail:

There is an acute shortage of water and a large percentage of the population does not have the access to water. To add to this problem, we waste a huge amount of water in our restrooms during flushing. A conventional urinal flushes approximately 3-4 ltrs which leads to a wastage of anything between 50K ltrs to 150K ltrs in a year. Zerodor is a Waterless Urinal Technology that works on the basic principle of physics (Specific Gravity Difference between Urine and Ammonia) and do not require any chemical or cartridge and so there is no recurring cost. These kits have a mechanical one way valve which allows the urine or liquid to flow into the drain line but does not allow the odor causing gases to come back into the restroom. This allows the urinals to operate without any flushing. Any existing conventional urinal can be fitted with Zerodor and thus can save anything between 50K to 150K liters of fresh water every year.

Problem Scale: " Not just India, but, the whole world is facing one of its major and most serious water crisis. If we talk just about our own country, 54% India faces HIGH to Extremely high Water Stress. In addition, water scarcity in India is expected to worsen as the overall population is expected to increase to 1.6 billion by year 2050. According to the Composite Water Management Index (CWMI) report released by the Niti Aayog in 2018, 21 major cities (Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and others) are racing to reach zero groundwater levels by 2020, affecting access for 100 million people. The CWMI report also states that by 2030, the country's water demand is projected to be twice the available supply, implying severe water scarcity for hundreds of millions of people and an eventual six per cent loss in the country's GDP.
