Your challenge is:
" To produce a working model of an innovative product, process, service or plan that will reduce the impact of growing demand on the world's dwindling water resources".
The world will be split into time zones;
- Europe / Middle East (BST) -
England, Germany, Norway, Poland & Scotland
- The Americas (CDT) -
United States of America
- Asia Pacific (AEST) -
Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore & Wales

Participants will see the 2008 challenge revealed when the GEC coordinator for their country accesses the GEC website and keys in the access code for their time zone. The GEC launch presentation will be repeated in each time zone and will be time locked into a global clock and only be accessible via a unique code at the nominated time in each time zone.
All national teams will compete within a 24 hour timeframe and start at the same nominated time for their time zone. However any team regardless of where they are on the globe may choose to run in the same time frame as Europe / Middle East, but must advise the Australian Host Coordinator at least two weeks prior to the event to ensure that they are issued with the appropriate access code.
