But the water consumption app took the cake in the competition that looked to create meaningful and market-relevant concepts.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the features that brought the app a win include its integrated system for managing water consumption that relies on customer bill payments. This option helps users save water by making a connection between using less water and saving money.<\/p>\n<p>The app coordinates with a sensor that attaches to building water lines to record water usage of different plumbing appliances. This allows users to see how much water is used per shower, sink or toilet in a building, while the app logs daily and monthly breakdowns of water use so that it\u2019s easier to manage water usage.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Top image:\u00a0A water consumption mobile app won in a University of Oregon design competition.
