Saving Water in Mosques [used before Prayer] |

There are thousands of mosques in the UAE & on an average a worshipper uses 25 liters of water each time they go for prayer. Praying 5 times a day makes it 125 Liters & considering the number of mosques & users it is millions of gallons involved here.
As reported in The National Dr Ahmed Al Jaberi, assistant professor in material science in the Masdar city, Abu Dhabi has invented a simple device that will limit the use to 1.2 Liters per day to be used for the pre-prayer ablution process, or wudu, and will be ready to be introduced in January 2016.
It?s a vessel & it could inspire worshippers to exercise restraint in using the resource. This is simple to install & does not require major changes. The water vessel can be attached to any wall, surface or tap.
The water is really precious in the UAE as it uses lots of energy for its production from Desalination. Such measures will conserve & save water & this precious resource will be preserved & this will result is saving energy as well.

This is a brilliant idea, saving water during ablution process is a need and economic solution to water usage in UAE. Yeah I like the vessel and its design. I hope every worshippers make use of it as early as it is launched in January 2016.
Thanks for reporting dear Rohan :)

I read about it sometime ago in papers and was really amazed that UAE is thinking into all aspects and exploring various areas where there is a scope of saving water. This vessel looked so cute to me . You rightly said ' water is precious in the UAE as it uses lots of energy for its production from Desalination' so we must use every drop wisely.Thanks for sharing , Rohan.
