geogrphy assessment part B - revised Flashcards
Q1. Refer to your table A personal water usage and write down which one takes up the most water.
write down whatever has the highest amount of water
Q2. The Average Sydney household pie chart [Laundry: 700 liters] [Kitchen and Dishwashing: 350 litres] [showering: 1000 something litres], which one takes up the most water?”
Showering takes up the most water in the average Sydney household since it exceeds 1000 L, which is more than laundry (700 L) and kitchen/dishwashing (350 L).
Q3. From Sydney’s Average Household, compare two activities from Part B of your table (Household water usage not your Personal) and choose TWO activities and compare them to TWO Sydney average household pie charts. Find similarities and differences and explain how.
Got it! Here’s a PEEL paragraph without mentioning the exact liters:
When comparing water usage for washing dishes and doing laundry to the Sydney average, there are both similarities and differences. In Sydney, the average household uses a certain amount of water for dishwashing and laundry each week. If you use a dishwasher, your water usage for washing dishes is likely similar to the Sydney average, as dishwashers are designed to be water-efficient. However, if you wash dishes by hand, your water usage may be higher than average, as hand washing typically uses more water. For laundry, if you have a modern washing machine, your water usage would likely match the Sydney average, since modern machines are built to be water-efficient. However, if you have an older washing machine, your water usage might be higher, as older models tend to use more water per load. The main difference depends on the type of appliances you use, with newer, more efficient machines using less water than older models.
Q4. Refer to source B (it’s a picture of rainclouds, a pipe connected to a house but the pipe is just connected to the water tank and then the water tanks spreads water onto some plants in a garden) “Explain and describe this process of sustainable water strategy.” in a peel paragraph but simple
In Source B, the process shown is a sustainable water strategy called rainwater harvesting. The rainclouds represent rainfall, which is collected through a pipe connected to the house. Instead of letting the rainwater flow away, it is directed to a water tank. The water tank stores the rainwater, which is then used to irrigate the plants in the garden. This process helps conserve drinking water by using rainwater for non-drinking purposes like watering plants. The benefit of this strategy is that it reduces the demand on main water supplies, making it a more sustainable option for managing water use in the garden. This method also helps in saving money on water bills and is environmentally friendly by using natural resources efficiently.
“Write two water strategies that can be used in your own household and how you can preserve water within yourself and your family.” short answer
Rainwater Harvesting: Install a water tank to collect rainwater from the roof. This water can be used for gardening, cleaning, or flushing toilets, reducing the need for tap water.
Water-Efficient Appliances: Use low-flow showerheads, faucets, and energy-efficient washing machines to reduce water usage during daily activities. Educate your family to turn off taps when not in use and take shorter showers to save water.
