SAVING WATER By Sasha Meek, Kayla Krepelka& Sarah-Kate Bergstedt
INTRODUCTION All of the worlds resources are slowly being used up and wasted, especially water. So we constructed a survey of our local community to prove that a lot of water was being wasted every day. We decided to survey 30 people above the age of 13 so that we got information from a variety of different people, making our results more reliable.
QUESTION 1 How many people live in your house? We asked this question to determine the average number of people per family, so we could expect a little or a lot of water being used. The average number of people per house was 4.
QUESTION 2 Do you wash dishes by hand, rather than using a dishwasher? We found out that a small majority of people washed dishes by hand rather than using a dishwasher. This shows us that a small majority of people are using more and wasting more water than if they used a dishwasher.
QUESTION 3 Do you use a shower or a bath? We found out that the majority of people used a shower, which is good since showers use less water than baths.
QUESTION 4 Do you have a large garden? Only a few people had a big garden which uses lots of water to tend, so this question was successful since a large majority did not have one.
QUESTION 5 Do you have a large pool? To have a large pool you use a lot of water to refill and service it. So this question was successful since a lot of people didn't have one.
QUESTION 6 When brushing your teeth, or using the tap, do you leave the tap running while busy? A large majority of people didn't do this, and this saves water.
QUESTION 7 Do you have a system in your house with collects or conserves water? We were disappointed with these results since only a very small amount of people had a water collecting system.
QUESTION 8 In your opinion are you good with water and try not to waste it? This question was successful as the majority of people thought they had water saving skills.
QUESTION 9 How often per week do you do a full clothes wash? Most people only did 1 or 2 clothes washes a week, which is good and doesn’t use too much water.
QUESTION 10 How many bathrooms so you have in your house? This question was was successful as most people had 1 or 2 bathrooms and this saves a lot of water.
CONCLUSION Our group was very surprised with our results because out of 10 questions, 7 were good answers for saving water. We had thought that people were wasting too much water in our community, but after compiling our results in to a graph, we learnt that the St Cyprians community is very active in saving water. We had of fun with this project and it taught us who to construct and reflect on a survey.
