MacWater

Inspiration

60% of McMaster University students still use plastic water bottles as water filter systems all across campus remain yellow or red for a very long time. To save students the time of finding a working filter, we have created a web app that enables McMaster's audience to view the status of each water filter on campus.

What it does

Enable McMaster students to easily access real-time updates on the status of water filtration systems across campus.
