“Individually each one of us is a droplet, together we are the ocean”. Project One Drop 4.0 is based on the category of Water & Energy Conservation, which was implemented by Leo Club of University of Colombo. The entire project consisted of three phases with different objectives and One Drop Team was able to complete the project within five months. The first phase of the project was planned to provide clean water to the people who use natural waterfalls in order to satisfy their daily usage. So, the team ended up founding a waterfall called ‘Uduwaka Waterfall’ which is in Algama, border areas of the Western and Sabaragamuwa Provinces.
