Water is one the primary components of life. On the occasion of World Water Day 2015, let's take a look at water related statistics from India. Right from the ecosystem perspective, to corporate usage, from usage in agricultural practices to usage by individuals. Water is one of the primary and often the most critical factor in India. Here is an interesting look at it.
We are a team of 3rd-5th grade kids. We are participating in FLL (First LEGO League). This year we researched about the human use of water. We found that clean, drinkable water is very scarce. Out of all global water, only 0.006% is potable. In our homes, we use clean water even for things that don’t require potable water.
Our idea is to reuse greywater for toilets. Please find more details about our idea ‘Sink Toilet’ in the attached presentation.

Saving Water in the Home and Garden - Farmhand for Drought Relief
Is your toilet running
1. Leaks can account for more than 10,000
gallons of water in an average home
every year - enough water to wash
nearly 10 months' worth of laundry.
70 percent of the Earth's surface is
covered by water, less than 1 percent is
available for human use.
A leaky toilet can waste thousands of
gallons in a month, if unnoticed. It could
even fill a swimming pool after a year
of leaking!
If your toilet is leaking, the cause is
most often an old, faulty toilet
flapper. Replace the whole rubber
flapper, which is inexpensive and you can
do it yourself.
If you do need to
replace the whole
toilet, look for a
Watersense labeled
model. This can save
you a lot of money
and the earth a lot of
water.
