4. Week one review
After my first week of
recordings I have observed
that the bathroom was taking
up most of our water use.
This was shown by the large
amount of water being used in
the morning, mainly due to
showers. So I put in place a
plan that mainly reduces our
water use in the bathroom. It
also involves re-using water in
the garden.

5. My action plan
 Use a four-minute timer when having a shower
 Keep a bucket in the shower to collect the water as it
warms up. (Use this water on plants).
 Brush teeth while in the shower.
 Use dirty fish-tank water on plants.
 Use dirty pet water on plants.
 Use plastic container of water to rinse dishes, after
cleaning.
 Ensure washing machine is full before use.

6. Expected Outcomes
Family:
We think that the action
plan focuses on our key
water uses and should
reduce our water use in
our household.
Outcomes:
I predict that the action
plan will significantly
reduce our water use in
our
household, particularly
our morning water usage.

that we use more water on
weekends, this is mainly
because of laundry and
watering the garden (which are
mostly done on weekends).

12. Final week review
After my final week of
readings, I noted that our total
water use for the week had
decreased by a small
amount. Our morning and
afternoon uses had
decreased, however, our
evening use had increased. I
think this is due to the fact
that showers were being
more focused in the evening.

14. Conclusions
It is clear that my water usage
had decreased after my action
plan was put into
place, however the water leak
was wasting a lot of water each
day and was the main reason Observations
my water usage had decreased I have observed from the readings
by so much. I still believe that that we, as a household use the
most water on weekends mainly
my plan was effective and did because of laundry and garden
have an input into lowering our watering . I have also noticed that
water use. shower times also take up the
most water. These observations
indicate high water usage at
certain times of the day and week.
