In my opinion i think saving water is very important now that we’re in a severe
drought. I think you should shower for only a couple of minutes. People waste a
lot of water when they shower for too long like if you shower for an hour thats a
lot of water wasting. I think you should shower for like 5-7 minutes.

3. The total weekly water use by my family is 489.95. The average number of
gallons we use is 69.2 gallons. The average water use by one family member is
8.65.

4. I chose the Cherry Hill school to compare to
our school. Our average daily water use is
140.7 gallons. Cherry Hill school use is 194
gallons. Our school uses more water than
the other school. The location of Cherry Hill
is River Edge New Jersey.

5. Water conservation is important because we
need water to survive. I will conserve water
by not showering for too long. Showering is
important but don’t take too long. Others
should not take long in the shower. They
should only take 5-7 minutes.
