Introduction
Hurstville Boys Campus has a big water usage problem around the school and it has been wasting tons of water. A fellow partner and I have come up with a solution to counter this and reduce water waste.

Data Collection
Over the course of about a week, we have sent out a survey to ten students at Hurstville Boys Campus to participate and answer eleven easy questions about the school's water fixtures. My partner and I gathered together both the qualitative and quantitative data to design a spreadsheet where we can store it. We found out that the average length of use of a fixture is 19.7 seconds and that it is used at an average of 2.1 times a day. Using this information, we have come up with a way to solve the problem.

Solution
We decided that we can install new types of taps for the bathrooms and outside drinking taps that turn on for roughly 5 seconds and then automatically turns off. With this installed, it can prevent so much water from leaking out of the tap and a fixed amount of time someone can use it for to reduce water usage. Because people have complained about rust, dirt and leaves ending up in the drain, we can also have a plumber come in regularly to maintain the toilets and taps.

Conclusion
In the end, the average time the fixture would be turned on for is 10.5 seconds (Average frequency x length of use). There is a 75% time reduction and therefore could change the schools water consumption positively.
