At my school I am doing a project on Peace and Conflict where I am looking at Freshwater and U.
This week we have been measuring how much fresh water we use at home. Everyone has to fill in a chart whenever they use freshwater.
I am also reading the rain gauge (no rain yet) and the water meter at the front of the house.
At the end of this week I will know how much water we use at home and hopefully we can find ways to reduce our use.
Water is important to everyone on Earth and I have discovered that Australia is the second highest user of freshwater per person in the word. We use on average 500 litres per person while Ethiopians use about 20 litres per person.
I found some interesting quotes as well
"When the well is dry, we know the worth of water." Benjamin Franklin 1746
"Filthy water cannot be washed." West African Proverb
"Anyone who can solve the problems of water will be worthy of two Nobel prizes - one for peace and one for science." John F. Kennedy
Thank you for reading my Blog................................
These are intersting quotes Matthew.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your home data on water use as it becomes available.
Your research and inquiry questions today were excellent and I hope our discussions were useful in finetuning some of your possible investigations.
