The Australian designed and manufactured Hughie Sink is a water saving device which fits over the sink capturing water used to wash the hands or clean vegetables. It can also be placed in the shower to catch water discarded whilst the temperature is set and submerged in the bath to collect used bathwater by removing and then replacing the stopper. As shown in the picture (bottom right), the collected water can be reused to water plants in the garden.

The Hughie comes in a variety of colours and is made from environmentally friendly biodegradable plastic. It holds up to seven litres of water and costs around $25.

This device was chosen as the overall winner of the first national awards recognising Australia's outstanding water saving products or services.
