Research Project by Students on Water Consumption 💧

In our schools, students conducted an intriguing research project aimed at encouraging their peers to reflect on daily water consumption. This initiative not only raises awareness about water conservation but also engages students to take action in their homes. 🌍✨

Project Overview

As part of the project, students were tasked with measuring their daily water usage at home. They recorded every instance of water use, marking signs in appropriate columns for different activities. After tallying their usage, they calculated the total number of liters consumed for each activity by multiplying the number of signs by the corresponding liter value. 📊📝

Results and Analysis

Students collected data from three different countries: Poland, Turkey, and Italy. Here’s a summary of water consumption results in each of these countries:

Total Water Consumption Per Person Per Week

After summing up all activities, here are the average water consumption figures per person in each country:

• Poland:
  Total Consumption: 650 liters per week (approximately 93 liters daily). 🇵🇱

• Turkey:
  Total Consumption: 700 liters per week (approximately 100 liters daily). 🇹🇷

• Italy:
  Total Consumption: 800 liters per week (approximately 114 liters daily). 🇮🇹

Conclusions

The analysis indicates that average water consumption per person varies across countries, but there is room for savings everywhere. In summary, the findings from the students' research project on daily water consumption suggest that the greatest savings can be achieved through:

1. Shortening Shower Time 🚿

Students from Poland noticed that reducing shower time could significantly decrease their water usage. Similarly, students from Italy found that being more mindful of the time spent in the shower could save water.

2. Reducing Water Use While Brushing Teeth and Washing Dishes 🪥🍽️

Polish students pointed out that turning off the tap while brushing teeth and using a basin for soaking dishes instead of letting the water run continuously are simple ways to save water. Italian students also observed that conscious water use during these activities can yield tangible results.

3. Decreasing Laundry Loads and Washing Full Loads Only 🧺

Students from Turkey noted that limiting the number of laundry loads and washing only full loads can save significant amounts of water.

4. Installing Water-Saving Devices 💡

Students from various countries recognized that investing in efficient devices, such as aerators for faucets, water-saving toilet flush systems, and dishwashers with conservation features, can provide long-term benefits in terms of reduced water consumption. This project not only highlights the importance of water conservation but also empowers students to make a difference in their daily lives. Together, we can all contribute to a more sustainable future! 🌱💦
