In order to promote water conservation, Smart borrowed ideas from nature to create awareness (in the form of “soft boundaries”) of how much water we are using, which in turn promotes more mindful water consumption.
My favorite aspect of this project is the community garden that wilts when the neighborhood’s water is being over-used, and thrives when water is being conserved.
