1a. Coming from a small town, my family and I have a well in which we get our water from. The well is tapped into an underground stream and pulls straight from that into our house. Our neighbors around us also have wells and use the same body of water for their houses as well. The water we use to drink that comes out of the faucet, we use to shower with, and to wash our clothes and dishes with comes from our well and is pumped into the house when needed. Whenever we use the water and it goes down the drain, it goes into our sewage tank that is underground outside and every couple of years, we get that sewage tank pumped. The water is then taken to the sewage plant where it can be disinfected and all the bacteria and scum in it is removed. The water is then released back into a stream, and the water cycle will continue.

1c.If I lived in an area where water was restricted and I could only use 2 gallons of water a day, the first thing I would do would be to go to the bathroom outside. That would eliminate completely the water I use to flush the toilet. That would also help me to save water from washing my hands after going to the bathroom. I would rely heavily on the nearby stream for water like being able to bathe, do dishes, and do laundry. If for some reason that didn’t exist or the water source was far away, and I carried the 2 gallons of water back home every day, I would really only use the 2 gallons of water to drink and cook with. The priorities would be to have water to drink and to have water to cook with. Everything else in my graph wouldn’t be a priority so I wouldn’t use water in those areas. Geography matters to water use because the closer and more accessible water is to you, the more you can use it for.
Hi Landon, my name is Kristin. Your post caught my attention because my house at home in Doylestown, PA also uses a well to get our water. I also recorded using around the same amount of water daily as you did. Your chart also stuck out to me! It is very nicely done and is a great added visual. It is also very easy to read! After completing this blog I am not going to be a little more conscious to how much water I use. Nice job!

Landon nice work on your post and thank you for your reply on my posting. I have lived at this location for about 4 years and am not regularly accustomed to well water. Where I grew up in Massachusetts we had municipal water and sewer service. It is VERY expensive and can also be monopolized. Thats not to say that in may rural areas of mass. they dont have well water & septic. After reading many of others work I see that more than not are not aware how high there daily water usage and consumption truly is and is in part why the cost of water can be higher when tied into a system. Overall I think off the grid anything is preferable to a grid system if at all possible. Thanks

Hi Landon, my name is Shoheb. I’d like to say great job overall on all parts of this assignment. Your first paragraph caught my attention because you said you get your water supply from a well. I think that is really cool, as we don’t see much of that in Philly. Your chart was also really well designed. I like the concept of the bar graph that shows everything in detail abot how much water you use daily. The third part really intrigued me because you mentioned few things that I didn’t even think of. Great ideas to live off of two gallons of water per day, and great job overall!
