PBUWCD: Month of January

2009 is coming to an end and I am sad to see it go. So sad, that I thought for the Permian Basin UWCD calendars that I would leave the dates for the month of January as they were in 2009 and not 2010. Yes I have made a mistake. I apologize to those who you who have received the misdated calendar but I have your solution below.

Link It To Me: Round 2

Eco Sign
Are you lost again? Turn to the nearest manhole for help then. I’m not kidding as we’re showing you an innovative design here, the ‘Eco Sign’. It is a digital manhole that provides information about location of public transportation. Simply put your left or right foot on it for 2 seconds, the manhole will then refer you to the nearest train station or bus stop. More amazingly, it is powered by rainwater.

Flying Water Catcher



“I hope I live long enough to own one of these! The fanciful Water Catcher, conceptualized by Penghao Shan from Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, China, is a finalist in the Electrolux Design Lab ‘09.”
“It is a robotic “birdie” that flies about, returning home with a bounty of water gathered from rain or humidity. The idea seems a bit silly initially, but watch the video; you’ll likely be won over with the “wants” for the little hydro-whirlybird like I did. Even the Jetsons didn’t have it this good!”

Saving Water, Staying Clean





New York Times article by By STEPHEN TREFFINGER.


Treffinger, did a study on 17 shower heads to find which one used the least amount of water, but still provided "an acceptably robust shower", among other things. His findings are interesting.
