Most of water is wasted when people don’t turn off the faucet out of laziness or negligence. People leave water running, while brushing one’s teeth or forgetting to shut the tap after the bathtub has been filled. To avoid wastage, sensors are fitted and the automatic operation of the sensors controls the wastage. This paper focuses on studies of the amount of water spent daily and reduces the consumption of water In order to save considerable amount of money as well as energy resources. Methods/Analysis: Drip calculators is a device installed, and it measures that a faucet releasing three drops a minute wastes appx 1 ml of water and more than 1.4 litres per day or approximately 511 litres per year. The adoption of automatic faucets, sensor urinals and low flow aerators make considerable amount of water savings as well as a cost -effective solution for water crisis. Equipped with motion sensors, automatic faucets only turn on and release water if a person is detected. Once the sensor determines that no one is in front, the valve closes automatically. In order to find the cost effectiveness, a Theatre in Trichy named as La cinemas have been studied. Findings: By installing these devices Initial cost is more but it’s a better approach for effective water saving measures. The benefits of automatic faucets are not only limited to (i) Water conservation but also helpful for people with Mobility problems; (ii) Reduce the risk of disease transmission (iii) saving in water Cost and Energy Conservation. The finding focuses on eradicating the water demand in Academic institution and to estimate the total percentage of savings in water and to have healthy environment.
