The document summarizes an inquiry project conducted by Maddison, Geena, and Rachael to compare water usage from town supply versus tank water. They recorded water usage over two tests from each source under normal and water-saving conditions. Their results showed that town supply water usage was higher and was reduced more when attempting to save water. Total water usage across both tests was cut down by 395 litres when saving water. They recommend ways to reduce water usage such as shorter showers, placing a brick in toilets, and only running full loads of laundry.
Water Usage
- 1. Maddison, Geena, Rachael’s inquiry project. For our inquiry project we decided to do 2 PowerPoint's, 1 for Geena & 1 for Maddison and Rachael. Watch and enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- 2. Our questions that we chose where: What is the difference in water usage on town supply and on tank water? Do people on town supply use more water just because it’s available? How can we change that?
- 3. The average water usage in a New Zealand home.
- 4. Our results over 1 day Town supply Kitchen: 50 litres Garden: 100 litres Bathroom: 180 litres Laundry: 250 litres Overall: 580 Tank water Kitchen: 54 litres Garden: 0 litres Bathroom: 409 litres Laundry: 204 litres Overall: 667 litres For our test we had an extra person in the house and mum and nana weren't going out of the house
- 5. Our Results while trying to save water Town Supply Kitchen:19 litres Garden:82 litres Bathroom:200 litres Laundry:140 litres Overall:441 litres Total cut down:139 litres Tank Water Kitchen:26 litres Garden:0 litres Bathroom:249 litres Laundry: 136 litres Overall: 411 litres Total cut down: 256 litres By this time nana had left and mum was going to massy and other stuff like that.
- 6. TOTAL WATER USED TOGETHER IN BOTH TESTS TEST 1 Kitchen: 104 litres Garden: 100 litres Bathroom: 589 litres Laundry: 454 litres Overall: 1247 litres TEST 2 Kitchen: 45 litres Garden: 82 litres Bathroom: 449 litres Laundry: 276 litres Overall: 822 TOTAL CUT DOWN: 395 LITRES
- 7. HOW CAN WE CHANGE THAT? Try having shorter showers. Put a brick in the top of your toilet system to reduce the amount of water used while flushing. Do full loads of washing instead of half ones because the half loads still use the same amount.
- 8. THE END THANKS FOR WATCHING
