A book that saves water

The Book That Saves Water is a natural outcome of researching the history of water supply in the town of Poreč. It highlights the struggle of many generations to access this precious resource, and our design contributes to the concept of water conservation

By choosing recyclable paper and researching the possibilities to use less amount of water in the printing technique,

instead of using non-recyclable paper and the commonly used printing techniques,

in the concept realization we managed to save 7355 liters of water.

For the sake of comparison, one person needs an average amount of 50 liters of water for daily use, food, and personal hygiene, so the amount of water that was saved with this project could supply an individual for five months.

Moreover, the book does not use any additional graphic elements since it conveys the message in its core – by simply saving water.

In such a way a work that speaks out about the importance of preserving such a precious resource, within its layout tells that saving water is not only possible but also very important at every step of our life.
