Millennium Sim et al., Involved the development of 24 homes supplied with Green housing 2005 rain water (for washing machines, toilet flushing and project gardening use) from underground storage tanks. The development also incorporated water efficient devices such as shower units, dual flush toilets and aerated taps. Data for this development has shown a 50% reduction in mains water consumption. Project Wang and A specialised social network (SSN) platform is provided to (FP7 Capiluppi, increase water consumption awareness and improve EU) 2015 household water use efficiency. The SSN allows users to interact with the communities via a range of activities such as i) sharing water bill with friends, ii) monitoring municipal water use statistics, iii) asking and answering water use questions, and iv) entering competitions. A store’ of points, ‘reward badges and other virtual objects, plays a key role in the platform’s design. Users can interact with the system through application(s) on their mobile phone or by using a web browser.
