From the page: "Designers, listen up: it's time for the Metropolis 2008 Next Generation Design Competition. The 5th annual competition (we've covered previous years here and here) is focusing on one of the world's most precious resources: water.
"With up to one third of the global population living without reliable access to clean water, we need better design solutions that account for potable water, gray water, black water -- its uses, re-uses, controls, management, efficiency, and conservation. We call on your innovative design solutions at all scales and sizesâ€"products, interiors, buildings, landscapes, communication systems, or anything else youâ€ve dreamed upâ€"for handling this most precious and most threatened natural resource. The time for new thinking on water is now.""
