Abstract/Contents:Highlights a trip that seven year old Mason Perez took to the Aces Ballpark in Reno, Nevada. Explains the when Mason went to the bathroom, the water pressure in the sink was too strong, prompting Mason to wonder, "what if there was less water pressure?" Details how he based a school science project around his experience at the ballpark, leading him to measure water flow at various houses and businesses. Details how Mason, accompanied by his mother, spoke with Rick Parr, Reno Aces General Manager and David Avila, Vice President of Operations about his findings that showed a "savings of 6 to 25 percent at the very various testing sites." Reports that Mason's ideas were "implemented in all restrooms and locker rooms" with monitors on the irrigation system also, with waters saving exceeding twenty percent. Mentions that Mason has presented his findings and ideas to other businesses.
