Turkish university students have developed a unique and environmentally friendly way to conserve water without sacrificing modern comforts. Their award winning creation, Washit, combines a washing machine appliance with a standard shower. The appliance collects and cleans the "gray water" used in the shower with UV rays in order to reuse it when cleaning the clothes. The design is still in prototype phase and is being considered for mass production.
