We aim to provide a quick response to developing stories and provide the context sometimes missing in mainstream commentary. The discussion here is restricted to scientific topics and will not get involved in any political or economic implications of the science.

Every time you turn on the tap to use water you will use a Ripple Product, and every time you use a Ripple Product you will be saving water. Ripple is a design business looking to communicate to Australian people about their water consumption. This communication is done through “water saving” product development. Our aim is to provide well-designed, “water wise”, functional items for the home that allow the consumer to be made aware of their own water consumption. The more that consumers are aware of their water usage, the more effective we can be to reduce our water consumption, individually and as a community.
