We are a group of international university students (Isak Petersson, Sweden; Amelia Moore, England; Kristen McKnight, USA). We will be performing a day-long experiment to reduce our usage of water (both for nourishment and other uses) to the minimum amount put forth by the UN, 25L. We will be posting our results here, and sharing this with our current global survival and environmental issues course. Hopefully our results will inspire people to reduce their usage of this precious resource.

Update 1: Lunch time
So far, all three researchers have used the minimal amount of water. For breakfast, only 0.5L or less was used, and if showers were taken in the morning, they were kept under 2 minutes. For lunch, we chose a vegetarian meal (due to the fact that meat industries use an obscene amount of water to make their meat). So far, we are all doing well with the minimal water alteration. The only thing that is hard is to avoid flushing toilets and being limited in our eating habits. We all try to keep the tap off as much as possible, even relying on hand sanitizer instead of water and soap to wash our hands. More updates to come...
