By

We Should drink sufficient Quantity of Water Everyday to keep healthy ourselves. Also there are many patients who are prescribed to drink some specific quantity of water everyday. But unfortunately we missed the schedule almost everyday. So I designed this thing with very few components.Its specially for my Wife who is suffering from kidney stone problems.

  • Check how much you water you intake.
  • Display your prescribed volume of water according to time
  • Alarm you on time to time if you are not drunk sufficient water.
  • Alarm will stop only when you have taken water from it.
  • Display current date time and room temperature.
