35、each tap shows the time. No money, no water. The benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system, which charged 1 Yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower.

Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. “In my experience, 10-20 minutes is
39、enough,” said Dai Zhihua, a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes.A similar system has been installed in other universities.
