we decided to do 2 PowerPoint's, 1 for

Geena & 1 for Maddison and Rachael.

Our questions that we chose where:

What is the difference in water usage on town supply and on tank

water?

Do people on town supply use more water just because it’s

available?

How can we change that?

The average water usage in a New Zealand home.

TOTAL CUT DOWN:

395 LITRES

HOW CAN WE CHANGE THAT?

Try having shorter showers.

Put a brick in the top of your toilet system to reduce the amount of water used while flushing.

Do full loads of washing instead of half ones because the half loads still use the same amount.
