Many people do not have access to safe drinking water.
Even then, many of us continue to waste a large amount of water on a daily basis.
WHAT IF THERE WAS NO WATER LEFT ON THE PLANET?

Stop students from wasting water
Summers are a time when students waste a lot of water.
As the water in their bottles turns warm due to the heat, they throw it away to fill it with cold water.
The result – a lot of water that can be used for other purposes is wasted.
MISSI N
Stop Bottle Wastage
![Page 8: IND-ENG-2014-104](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060117/55865b46d8b42a8a688b4722/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

To curb this wastage, a bucket was kept beside the water cooler. The students could throw the water they did not want to drink in this bucket.

A poster was stuck on every water cooler of the school,
asking students to throw the leftover water in the bucket
placed along side.

MISSI N
Water Monitors
The water monitors ensured that the students threw water in the buckets.
They checked the school for any leaking taps or faucets. If any tap/faucet was found leaking, it was duly brought to the notice of the administration.
This further helped curb wastage of water in school.

MISSI NMaking a Hand
Sanitizer A lot of water gets wasted as
young children try to wash their hands, especially primary school students.
Using a hand sanitizer could be a solution to this problem.
A simple, easy-to-make hand sanitizer was developed.

MISSI N
Spread The Word
To further spread the word, the team created a bulletin board on the cause in the school.
The board comprised several posters that sensitised toward the cause.
More students joined the cause.

MISSI N
Involve The Parents Having mobilised the
students, the team involved the parents too.
Circulars were distributed in senior and junior classes.
These circulars apprised the parents of water saving activities in the school.
The circulars also included a small survey that the parents were asked to fill in and rreturn. Some of the survey forms filled by the
parents.

THE RESULTS
Students stopped wasting water in their bottles. The water they threw was used for miscellaneous purposes as watering plants or mopping the floor.
Leaky faucets and taps were checked and corrected. A hand sanitizer was created for primary school students who
waste water when washing hands. Awareness activities as creating bulletin boards and distribution of
circulars further helped sensitize the audience. In the end, wastage of water in school could be curbed to a great
extent.
