Just Say Aquacue
February 6, 2012Here’s a video overview of the UC Merced Water Battle, held last fall. Aquacue’s technology provided real-time water data to on-campus student residents via the competition dashboard.
The student leaders developed a fantastic outreach program, achieving a 14% water savings during the competition. We’re delighted to be showcased in this campus Impact video! Thanks, UC Merced!
Water Battle Redux
December 20, 2011Wow-wee! The hits just keep on coming! Aquacue has been wondering about the lingering effects of last October’s Water Battle among student residence halls at UC Merced. We just compared the nine Valley Terraces halls’ water consumption from November to October and found that students continued to reduce their water consumption by an additional 6% month over month! (Note: the students achieved a 14% water savings during the month-long water battle—and now have a two-month water savings of 20% since the beginning of the school year.)
In calculating the numbers we normalized 6 days of water usage to account for the long Thanksgiving holiday and for the extra day in October, and the residents still came in 30,200 gallons UNDER their water use in October. Amazing!
Our conclusion: the Water Battle did what it was supposed to do—help student residents reduce their water use and improve UC Merced’s water efficiency. The numbers prove it. Congratulations, UC Merced! Stay dry!
UC Merced Water Battle
November 12, 2011
The UC Merced 2011 Water Battle is over. The 9 dorms reduced their water consumption by 14%. Some as few as 5% but a couple managed to reduce it by 35% and 42%. Total of 90,000 gallons was saved and many leaks were stopped in their track that could have caused over a million gallons of water in a year. Congratulations to all the dorms and to UC Merced for making this a great learning opportunity for all.
Stay tuned for the next upcoming battle to cooperatively increase efficiency and conserve water.
