Each person has a water footprint. The amount of water you use every day for things like drinking, washing your
hands, and flushing toilets is part of your water footprint. If you use a lot of water in your daily life, you have a
large water footprint. If you use less water each day, you have a smaller water footprint.
Maria Rúbies Global Scholars have analysed our water footprint. Here you can read some of our results:
Dear peers,
Our average is 15535,75 L each week. We are surprised because it’s a lot of water, all members of the group think that.
We think the challenge to being water-wise is to reduce the time in the shower, we can close the tap when we are washing our hands. We can also put a bottle inside the tank in order to reduce the amount of water that flushes when you use it.
This week, we will be more water-wise by using less water doing things.
What things do you do to be water-wise?
Sincerely,
Aya, Madiou, Xavier, Daniel.
Dear peers,
Our average water footprint is 10806,333333
We were surprised by our water footprint because we spend a lot of water in one day.
We think the challenges to being water-wise are easy to say or explain and difficult to do.
This week we will be more water-wise by reducing our water footprint because water is very important for our life. We won’t spend a lot of time in the shower (10 m), we’ll eat more vegetables instead of so much meat,…
A question for you is, are you surprised about your water footprint?
Sincerely,
Maria, Paula, Paola and Hector
