What's Your Water Footprint?
Did you leave the water running while you brushed your teeth? Did you wash your face? Did you eat toast? This experience asks visitors to recall choices they made that morning to determine how much water they used. With each choice, visitors are instructed to pump gallons of water into a tall tube. The tube tallies their morning water usage. They can compare their water use to that of the average ancestral Pueblo person and find ways to cut down. Choice was an important part of the architecture of this experience, but it was difficult to incorporate into simple printed instructions. Iterative prototype testing helped design an experience that works.
