Goals & Objectives
Motivation
Motivate HCC students and faculty to be healthy and active by providing convenient water refill stations to encourage remaining hydrated throughout the day.
Eco-Friendly Solution
Prevent unnecessary waste on campus in the form of plastic water bottles to intervene before they enter the environment.
Easy Access to Water
Provide clean, free, and easy to access water to every student, faculty, and visitor that comes to Houston Community College.
The Problem
- HCC is currently missing an opportunity to provide their students and faculty with a way to easily refill reusable water bottles to stay hydrated, encourage a healthy lifestyle, and prevent excessive trash entering the environment.
The Solution
- Eco-Hydration will Install 25 water refill stations across all 5 HCC campuses to provide a clean, tasty, and free water source for everyone on campus all while encouraging visitors to pursue health, hydration, and eco-friendly habits.
- No need to be bothered with the hassle of maintenance as Eco-Hydrations takes care of it on a monthly basis.
The BENEFITS
Provide all visitors with free, clean water to carry with them throughout the day and fulfill their essential need for water.
Avoid adding to the nine million tons of plastic, including plastic water bottles thatend up in the oceans each year (Borusiak et al. 1).
Prevent up to 400,000 single-use plastic water bottles from being bought and thrown away (Bethurem et al. 2).
Promote healthy body weight status of all campus visitors by reducing caloric intake (An et al. 715).
Increase staffs', students', and visitors' chances to use refillable water bottles (Bethurem et al. 5).
Fulfill one-fourth of the requirement for excellent drinking water on campus by providing a non-fountain source to promote a higher level of water intake (Patel et al. 1314).

HCC have the unique opportunity to present both students and faculty alike the chance to use our tailored refill stations for campuses, conditioned for use of masses in an academic standing.

Eco-Hydrations water refill stations are a necessary stop on my way to class to keep me hydrated all day long.
Mary Studious
The water I get from the refill stations is the most refreshing water I have had!
Professor Agua
I don't know why we didn't install these water refill stations sooner. Our onsite litter has decreased significantly due to lower water bottle usage.
