Solar Showers For Atheletes

by Noel on November 21st, 2006

The upcoming 2008 Beijing Olympics would be something new. Not in terms of events and the like. But it would be all because of a new type of showers that the athletes would be using.

Straight from Germany, more than 10,000 athletes competing at the mentioned Olympics would be using state of the art solar powered showers. The system has been made a reality because of a huge donation given out by the government of Italy. This is according to an announcement given out by organizers of the event.

Come next year, the villages that the athletes would be using would be installed with the mentioned solar powered showers.

The organizing committee of the 2008 Beijing Olympics has become the “guinea pigs” of the solar powered showers. They are actually already using a pilot system at their offices at present. And they do say that the system is working quite well.
