“Why are they looking for water on Mars? Because without water life couldn’t exist – it’s our most precious resource and everyday we waste it.  Water Amnesty at the University of Sheffield aims to make people think differently about the water they use and why, making them better custodians of our aqueous legacy.”

Prof Tony Ryan, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Science at the University of Sheffield

A Free Radicals initiative, in association with the University of Sheffield.  Download the iPhone App (designed by DED Associates) to monitor your own water usage…
