Water Reflection: (Action Project)- Italy V.S. Me

My daily water usage was compared to Italy's daily water usage. My daily water usage was 97 gallons in total on...
  • Showering
  • Outdoor using
  • Teeth brushing
  • Face washing
  • Dish-washing
  • Washing clothes
This shows the amount of gallons that I used each day which adds up to 97 gallons. This would take me a whole day because ill be carrying the water instead of using transportation to feel how Africa suffers everyday to get water and don't have transportation. Another reason why it will take me a whole day is because its 2 trips back and forth getting water from 4 miles to another 4 miles again.

This influenced my awareness of how to conserve water and be more less useful because we have a bigger amount of water than Africa does. Now that I know this, it makes me use less water to be equal and not feel greedy. The more water I use the more time I spend carrying water for the day. Ill do things wisely like clothes re-wear them again less laundry to wash, Turn off the water while brushing my face and teeth. This way I could maintain my usage of water that I use daily.

I want to conserve water because i think it would be good to help the environment and help other country's with water issue's. Also this can be a solution for people in other country's suffering from water because they don't have the sufficient water for the family to spare around or to used. By this i think i would help myself conserve lots of water to save and be proud of myself for not wasting a lot of water in the world.

H2O Water rough draft

ROUGH DRAFT

Summary
My daily water usage is 97 gallons and I estimated it to liters to get my percentage. I want to compare my daily water usage with Italy's daily water usage to know which country uses more water each day. I found out that Italy uses 99.59 gallons of 377 liters and I use 97 gallons of 366 liters. My daily water usage and Italy's water usage is similar to the same amount. I converted Italy's liters to get the total liters to gallons to see how I can compare my amount with Italy's daily water usage to see if it similar or different.

Call it Action

The action that Italy has is by providing goods and healthy foods. How Italy uses this is by gallons that they use daily. I think that Italy is a really big water user for all those goods they grow to sell and eat. Italy's water is kinda refreshing from what I have seen on a website where it specifically supports that Its fresher than mexico and because its tap water and usually tap water is not filtered right. Tap water can probably get you sick within 3 days or so. Comparing my daily water usage with Italy's water usage is similar because of each others gallons per day. At the time almost a billion don't have access to cleaning, studies and safe drinking  have shown that in there daily water usage they use over about 380 liters of water each day. The most amount of water they use is for making food, such as Pizza,pasta Ect... and even clothes that they wear

Research
My research is about Italy's daily water usage, Italy is the top five biggest average users of water. Italy uses well over 300 liters of water. Italy's water is usually used to produce goods and stay healthy with supplying fresh fruits and vegetables. A liter of water is 30 or 50 euro in a 6 pack bottle water in a supermarket in Italy. Most tap water is Safe/not safe and can be listed in the non potable chart. Italy uses lots of water for many reasons its used for supplying goods and selling fresh fruits and vegetables. Also keeping the community healthy and with less sickness. Its also used for consuming the services and inhabitants  of that nation.
