WORLD WATER DAY (23/03/2025)


DAY-1
ANALYSIS AND REPORT OF WATER USAGE
IN HOUSEHOLDS

AIM:
The aim of this project is to:
• Identify water sources at school and home.
• Calculate the average daily water usage by each family member.
• Analyse the frequency and type of water supply.
• Highlight challenges, considerations, and provide
recommendations for efficient water management.

INTRODUCTION:
Water is a vital resource essential for daily life, including drinking,
cooking, cleaning, and sanitation. The project aims to understand the
water usage patterns at home and school by identifying the sources,
measuring water tank capacity, and calculating average consumption.
The data also provides insights into the intervals and types of water
supply in the area.
CONTENT:
1. Water Sources at Home
According to the data:
• The main water sources at home include RO water, bore water,
and corporation water.
• The pie chart titled "Water Supply" shows that:
o 42% of people rely only on corporation water.
o 5% use only bore water.
o 53% use a combination of both sources.
• This indicates that a majority of the population prefers a mixed
water supply to meet their daily needs, ensuring reliability.
2. Water Tank Capacity and Usage
• The data does not explicitly mention the tank capacity, but you
can measure it at home by noting the dimensions or the
labelled capacity.
• To calculate daily usage:
𝑨𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒖𝒔𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝒇𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒚 𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓
𝑻𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒖𝒔𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝒅𝒂𝒚
=
𝑵𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒇𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒚 𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒔
For example:
• If the family uses 1,000 litres per day with 4 members, the
average usage per person is:
1000 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑟𝑒 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑑𝑎𝑦
= 250 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑟𝑒 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑑𝑎𝑦
4 𝑚𝑒𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟𝑠
3. Intervals of Water Supply
Based on the "Intervals of Water Supply" pie chart:
• 40% of the population receives water once in 2 days.
• 35% receives it once a week.
• 25% receives it once every 10 days.
• This indicates that water supply is inconsistent, with many
households facing limited access.
4. Corporation Water Supply
The "Corporation Water Supply" chart reveals that:
• 83% of the water comes from Siruvani water.
• 17% comes from Athikadavu water.
• This demonstrates the dependence on Siruvani water, which
could pose a risk during times of scarcity or reduced supply.

INTERESTING FACTS:
• On average, an individual requires 135 litres of water per day
for basic needs (as per WHO standards). Your data can be
compared to this benchmark.
• Over-reliance on a single water source, such as Siruvani, can
make the system vulnerable to drought or maintenance issues.
• The combination of bore water and corporation water usage by
53% of the population indicates a coping mechanism for supply
inconsistencies.

CHALLENGES AND CONSIDERATIONS:


1. Inconsistent Water Supply:
o The irregular intervals of water supply (once every 10 days
for some) highlight distribution inefficiencies.
2. Overuse of Groundwater:
o Heavy reliance on bore water can deplete underground
reserves.
3. Water Quality Issues:
o Bore water might contain more minerals and impurities,
making it less suitable for drinking without filtration.
4. Storage and Wastage:
o Larger storage tanks might encourage water wastage due
to overflow or negligence.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Rainwater Harvesting:
o Encourage homes and schools to adopt rainwater
harvesting to reduce dependency on corporation water.
2. Water Conservation Practices:
o Promote water-saving habits like fixing leaks, using low-
flow fixtures, and reusing greywater.
3. Efficient Distribution:
o Local authorities should focus on more consistent water
distribution to prevent water shortages.
4. Public Awareness Campaigns:
o Educating people on optimal water usage can help
prevent wastage and ensure better conservation.
CONCLUSION:
The analysis reveals that water supply patterns in the area are
inconsistent, with a significant reliance on mixed water sources. The
data also highlights the importance of conservation practices due to
the irregular supply intervals. By implementing rainwater harvesting,
improving distribution systems, and promoting responsible usage,
water management can be made more sustainable.
