Please use this class dataset as you see fit in the Discussion of your Water Use Assignment

Final Report. You can include the Table in your report, but you should give it the appropriate

number.

Table 1: Mean daily water use per person for the GEOS1701 T2 2025 class. The results are organised

Important notes for Table 1.

• A couple of students reported unrealistic/unusual usage volumes and therefore these were

excluded from the data.

• I was not able to input data that was sent to me after the 5 pm Thursday deadline.

GEOS1701 T2 2025 class.

TOTAL 154

The results in Table 2 are pretty self-explanatory. Most students reported shower /bath as the

activity using the most water in their household.

As for who was the most unreliable person in your home when it came to filling in the charts, 132

people answered this question and here are the results:

No-one (everyone was quite reliable = 31.8%

Siblings = 23.5%

Parents = 21.2%

Father = 16.7%

Brother = 15.9%

Other = 15.2%

Sister = 7.6%

Partner = 4.5%

Mother = 4.5%

Yourself = 3.8% (at least some people were honest and/or didn’t change their water use habits!)

It’s hard to take these results too seriously because we don’t know how many people lived with

family etc., but it’s clear that siblings, parents and males were the problem!
