Let’s know, let’s love and

let’s protect our environment!

School audit about the use of water

“Water is the driving force

of all nature”Leonardo da Vinci

In order to know if we are a

waterwise school

We have investigated the amount of

water we use up in our high school.

We observed how much water we use up

Using taps In the toilet In green areas

Using taps In the toilet In green areas

And now we are

going to show you

the results.

GREEN AREASTotal

surface of

green areas591’35 m2

Types of treesMore exotic

species trees

than native trees

5 types of deciduous

trees and 6 types of

evergreen trees

Irrigation system Drip watering system

We asked some questions...

...and the results were:

Plants are watered less than twice

a week in the afternoon when the sun sets.

At the school

we haven’t got any

water rain collection system.

We have leaks in some elements

of the drip irrigation system.

We have a little orchard where

a group of students grow green vegetables

and aromatic plants.

TAPS

Main type of tap Timed tap

Using a chronometer we

measured the time that water

flows through the tap.

TAPSAccording to the datum

for a correct flow of

water that we have consulted

taps in our school have

an adequate flow.

Water closets

Type of system Double push-button

We don’t notice any leakages in

our system of water closets

There aren’t any posters in the school that

make us aware of the benefits of the best

use of toilets.

We have analyzed

the receipt of the water :

1077,42 liters of water were consumed at

the school during last year.

Calculations: 1077,42 L /349 people

every person of our school consumes

approximately 3 liters per year

CONCLUSION

We believe that , in general, our school uses

appropriate measures with regards to water

use.

However,……

Things to improve

We have the drip irrigation system to water plants, but

we don’t use it. We have to use it.

We should make posters to encourage people to use

the water in a good way.

We could also have a security system for

leaks

We should put a system to collect rainwater

for reuse it for water plants.
