Ripple Effect
It’s not only about shorter showers.
How do the decisions we make every day influence water supply and distribution?
We have created a native iOS Mobile App to play an interactive story of an everyday encounter, where you have to make simple choices that lead to different outcomes (a lush forest or dried out crops). At the end of the story, we show users how simple choices that you wouldn't associate with water, affect the supply and distribution of water.
Our vision was to create an engaging way to learn about the consequences of our actions in relation to water and creating a more informed population that can take responsibility and create sustainable policy.
Our iOS native mobile app is our final product, but we also created a Web experience (in progress). Our overarching vision for the product is to create a learning experience that can be accessed via school computers, paired with the mobile app for the general public.
We used a combination of water and agricultural data to tell a story about water, beyond that which we can see. Whilst there is a clear message during periods of drought that people should have shorter showers and avoid gardening, the story about how water is used throughout the supply chain is untold.
Description of Use Highlights many of the points about water usage that our project is addressing.
Description of Use How much water is used for everyday needs.
Description of Use How water resources are used for consumer needs.
Description of Use How different plants are affecting water usages.
Description of Use Highlights how water storage is changing over the years.
Description of Use We used this dataset to better understand how much water is needed to produce different agricultural goods. This data then informed some of the consumer decisions the user has to make within the story line.
