Global Scholars 7th Digital Project

Introduction

Hello peers,

We want to show you a water guide to our school. Our water guide will have a map, ideas for improvement, observations, how available water is, and how much water each fixture uses.

Here you go,

Kernan Middle, 7th Period Global Scholars

Introducing and explaining our water guide

Hey! As you can see, this is Kernan Middle School’s water source map. We notice there are about 87 water sources in our school. Every toilet means toilet, sink means sink, fountain means fountain, and last but not least shower means shower.

Observations

Some of our water sources leak water into the drain which wastes a lot of water.

One of our sinks has been running constantly for two weeks!

The water faucets are dirtier than they should be.

The Pipes are very rusty and it was leaking but they are still holding up fine!

We use 64 liters of water on average when showering.

Water Usage

We use 79 liters a day when we wash our hands.

We use 24 liters of chilled water per hour from a water fountain.

This is a water meter! It counts how many liters of water you waste.

We use 6 litters of water when we flush the toilet.

Accessibility

Most of our water fountains here at Kernan Middle School are easy to access for students and adults. Also, our bathrooms are accessible to both students and staff/teachers every building has a bathroom for students but around the school there are staff only bathrooms.

There are sinks that

How can we improve availability?

We can put more water around the campus or get maintenance to fix fountains.

We can make more public bathrooms on campus.

We can more sinks around campus instead of them just being inside the bathroom or put more sinks in the bathrooms. We can also declutter the sinks.

Thank you for Reading our water guide. Hope you enjoyed It!
