We have observed that several water taps of our schools are dripping. We realize that it leads to the wastage of the most precious natural resource. So we decided to measure the water leakage in our school.
Action Plan:
We took a 1 litre bottle and tied it to a dripping tap next to our class room.
We collected the following data:
1. Collection of water in 1 litre bottle
2. i. Amount of water wastage in 1 hour -2 litres
Hence:
ii. In 24 hours- 48 litres
iii. 1 week – 336 litres
iv. 1 month- 1440 litres
v. 1 year=48x365 = 17520 litres
3. Amount(in Rs) of wastage was calculated.
i. One litre bottle of drinking water costs about Rs.10/-.
So the total wastage in Rupees is :- 17520 litres x 10 = Rs.1,75,200.
Our final calculation shows how much money also gone into the drain in just 1 year through just one tap in our school.
4. We took photographs and video of the leakage for record.
