Group III - General use A. Water Fountain B. Hand Wash Area FINDINGS: Time = 20 min. No. of students uses = 16 students Each person uses 3.5 L per day THEREFORE: 20 min X 16 students X 3.5 L = 1,120 L/day

SUMMARY

AVERAGE We have calculated all the information that we have gathered. We were surprised with the result. We are consuming 12,159.2 L./day in our school. Help us Conserve WATER......
