Improving School Water Usage at Hurstville Boys Campus Solution
Introduction - My partner and I have noticed that Hurstville Boys Campus has a problem with water wastage. We have come up with a solution that addresses this problem, providing a solution with evidence and data to back it up.

The Process - Over the course of about a week, my partner and I have surveyed 10 volunteering students from Hurstville Boys Campus to answer our survey questions about their experience using the school's water fixtures. With this data, my partner and I gathered the qualitative and quantitative data and inputted the data into a spreadsheet and database to store it and to create a solution to address this water wastage problem.

The Solution - We have collected a variety of qualitative and quantitative data, e.g. length of use, frequency of use and fixture type to use this data to create a solution to improve the water usage effiency at Hurstville Boys Campus school. My partner and I have surveyed 10 people at our school for the following questions: The date answered, the type of fixture they used, the length of use, the frequency of use and the damages of that fixture. From the 10 people that we surveyed, the average length of use of those fixtures were 19.7 seconds while the average frequency was 2.1 per day. This totals to the average time a fixture is turned on for 41.37 seconds.

My partner and I came up with the idea of if the school installs a function where every water related fixture will automatically turn off after 5 seconds, the average time a fixture is turned on for 10.5 seconds. This is a 75% time reduction which will save massive amounts of water bills and environmental impact.

Conclusion - In conclusion, my partner and I have noticed a water wastage problem at Hurstville Boys Campus and have collected the sufficent data from our survey and have used that data to create a practical solution for the school to save more money on water and also help the environment stay healthier.
