University students are being urged to urinate in the shower in a bid to save water.

The Go with the Flow campaign is the brainchild of students Debs Torr and Chris Dobson, from the University of East Anglia (UEA) in Norwich.

They want the university's 15,000 students to take their first wee of the day while having their morning shower.

Mr Dobson, 20, said the idea could "save enough water to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool 26 times".

The pair want those taking part to pledge their allegiance on Facebook and Twitter and have offered gift vouchers to the first people to join the challenge.

Wouldn't work for me. I like to wee first, then wash hands obviously, brush teeth, then go make a coffee and go back to bed, then shower. If I weed in the shower I would have to take toothbrush and coffee in with me. I can't see that working. How about you, Polly?

There is only one problem, the salts contained in urine accumulate and crystallise in the drain eventually causing blockage..!

But if that were true, wouldn't the loo also get blocked then? But it doesn't

The bore (size) of the pipe is the limiting factor. Plus you tend to throw lots of stuff down the loo to eliminate calcification. A good point all the same.

Oh I see. Yes other stuff for sure

But in the shower you would also be getting soap suds and shampooey water going down. Would that not impact on the crystals?

Ha ha my daughter said she had joined an environmental group at UEA, will see if she tells us to do that.

I loathe showers and prefer baths, so no chance!!!

yeah, report back!!

"Based on an average flush costing 2p, campaigners say £7.30 per year, per person, could be saved if people spend their first morning penny in the shower"

2P or not 2P. That's the question.

I want my gift vouchers.

Family of men, they all pee in the shower.

The shower water is rigged up to go out as grey water ( secluded acreage ), onto the lawn, we have the greenest lawn you can imagine, year round. I thought the shower gel etc would kill it but nope people ask us how we get it that green, usually I dare not say

I thought everybody already peed in the shower anyway

Indeed, I routinely shower in the toilet as I flush.

That's what being on tank water will do to you.

I remember years ago, campaign in Brazil for similar - due to water shortages. Makes sense really although as the only female in my house, I'd have to have a chat with my two sons for directional issues whilst in the shower!

Why stop there?
