The document discusses water usage at a school and identifies ways to save water. It notes that the school uses 200,000 liters of water per month for activities like cooking, showers, toilets, cleaning and dishwasher use. Some problems identified are broken water equipment causing leaks and wasteful flushing of toilets. To save water, the document suggests repairing equipment, using only one button when flushing toilets, educating students about conservation, and stopping unnecessary splashing. The goal is to reduce the school's water consumption and help the environment.

How do we use water at school?
The document provides guidance for a classroom activity where students will identify and describe places where water is used in their school. Students are instructed to draw pictures of places around the school where water is used, label them with the place name, and write a sentence about how water is used in their school. They are then asked to create a Voki character telling about where water is used in the school. The document provides elaborations on learning objectives and suggestions for implementing the classroom activity, such as having students work in groups and taking photos of water uses to include in a class science journal.
WATER SURVEY
The students at IES Comarcal high school conducted a survey of water usage to determine if their school is waterwise. They measured water used in taps, toilets, and green areas. For green areas, they found the school has more exotic plant species than native ones and uses a drip irrigation system, but it is not used properly. They also found leaks in the irrigation system. For taps and toilets, water flow was adequate but no posters encourage water conservation. The students calculated average annual water usage per person and concluded the school generally uses appropriate water measures but could improve by repairing leaks, using the irrigation system, and adding conservation posters.
Practical water data
The document provides practical tips for reducing water usage in schools. It notes that only 3% of the world's water is fresh, and less than 1% is accessible for human use. Schools in Ireland will be charged for water usage per cubic meter starting in 2010. The document recommends measuring current water usage and identifies areas for conservation such as fixing leaking taps and toilets, adjusting urinal flushing, and raising awareness of water usage among students.
PUMS,Eappakkam,Villupuram Dt
This document is about a project by students at Panchyat Union Middle School in Eappakkam village to address a waste water problem on their school grounds. The drainage pipe for the drinking water tank was damaged, causing waste water to flow onto the entrance area. The students discussed the problem and proposed solutions like reducing water consumption, cleaning the drainage pit, and redirecting the waste water flow. They implemented their plan by patching the drainage area, cleaning around the water tank, and advising others to conserve water. Their goal was to protect the school environment and manage waste water.
Waste of Water.pptx
This document discusses ways to reduce water waste at school and at home. It provides recommendations such as opening the water tap little when washing hands, taking showers instead of baths, using a watering can instead of a hose to water plants, and sharing concerns about water waste with classmates by posting signs. Other schools recommend closing the water when brushing teeth, washing dishes with minimum water, washing cars with only a pot of water, taking short showers, and watering plants at specific times to reduce evaporation.
Marsur School RWH.pdf
Rainwater harvesting (RWH) can go a long way in solving water crises. Wipro Cares, in partnership with Biome, embarked on a project to implement rooftop RWH and improve the water infrastructure in seven government schools in this area. One such is Marsur school.
Folder de la belgique
This document outlines the efforts of an elementary school in Belgium to reduce its carbon footprint as part of an international Comenius Project from 2012-2014. It describes how the school worked with partner schools in Germany, Italy, Bulgaria, and Scotland on this initiative. To reduce its footprint, the school promoted using reusable water bottles and lunchboxes, eating local snacks, properly sorting waste, and conserving electricity and heat. Through these actions, the school was able to significantly decrease its footprint score by 68% and space needed per student by 10.7%, showing that collective changes can benefit the environment.
Eco school bubble action plan
This document outlines the key areas of focus for an eco-schools program at Ballynure Primary School. The areas covered include water conservation, biodiversity, waste reduction, sustainable transport, energy saving, healthy living, beautifying school grounds, and promoting environmental awareness globally. The school encourages students to monitor resource usage, plant gardens, create habitats for wildlife, and reduce litter and carbon footprints through various initiatives. The goal is for the whole school to work together to protect the environment and be good environmental stewards in their community.

The document summarizes a water conservation project undertaken by students at a girls' high school in Kolkata, India. The students identified water scarcity as a growing problem and conducted audits to find ways water was being wasted at school and at home. They implemented solutions like reducing shower time, fixing leaks, and spreading awareness. The students presented their project to over 1,000 other students and 120 teachers. They also worked to educate neighbors and installed rainwater collection systems. As a result, many reported significantly reducing water waste at home. The school hopes this project inspires continued conservation efforts.

IND-ENG-2014-104
The document discusses initiatives taken at a school to reduce water wastage. Students were throwing away partially consumed water bottles and refilling them with cold water. To address this, buckets were placed next to water coolers for students to pour leftover water. Posters encouraged the practice. Water monitors also checked for leaky taps. A hand sanitizer was created to reduce water used by young students washing hands. Further awareness efforts like bulletin boards and parent circulars helped sensitize more people. As a result, the school was able to significantly curb water wastage.

Carbon footprint
The document defines carbon footprint as the total amount of greenhouse gases produced directly and indirectly by human activities, usually expressed in tons of carbon dioxide. A carbon footprint is generated through activities like driving a car, heating a home, and producing goods, as these activities produce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Global warming occurs when too much carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases accumulate in the atmosphere and increase its temperature, causing changes to the climate such as melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and damaged ecosystems. The document was written by Silvia Halamičková of class 9.C.
