Analysis of results

Hey there everyone!

The H2O lovers are back yet again! Today we will be posting a comparison between the before and after results together with possible limitations and the reliability of the data collected.

From the data collected, as seen in our previous posts, there was a notable difference between the amount of water used, over a period of five days, before and after the implementation of the water conservation tools. Prior to the implementation of the water conservation tools, 3.5 cubic meters of water was used. However after the water conservation methods were implemented, 3.1 cubic meters of water was used. This is a difference of 0.4 cubic meters. From this data, it would seem that the water conservation methods implemented were a success, as the amount of water used was reduced. However, there are a few limitations that need to be accounted for as they reduce the reliability of the data collected.


The first limitation is that the project was carried out only for five-day periods. To judge the efficacy of the water conservation methods accurately, the project should have been carried out over one-month periods. This would give us more accurate figures as implementing water conservation practices over five days and a month is completely different as it involves a change of habits. Herein lies the second limitation. Over the five-day period, the members in Tanvi's house would have to change their habits. This would not have been easy and as a result the water conservation methods may not have been employed at all times in that duration. Consequently, the data obtained would be inaccurate.


While our project did yield us positive results, we hoped that an understanding of the project limitations would allows us to have a more practical and objective view towards the practice of water conservation in the household.


For now, this is all. See you soon!
