Our Story
In 2012, Dropcountr Founder Robb Barnitt asked himself a question, “How much water does my family use?”. After he found a old crumpled paper bill, he added up a few numbers, converted the result to gallons for reference, and then said, “There’s no way we use that much water!”.
More questions followed. Is that too much water for our household? How much do we use to water our landscape? Do we have a leak?
In 2013, Robb founded Dropcountr to improve access to personal water use information, and empower consumers to increase their Water IQ. With a looming drought in California the rest, as they say, is history.
