Calculate your daily personal water footprint paying attention to the procedure required which written into the notes below. Use a spreadsheet format, but all calculations and conclusions must be clearly stated. Explain how your personal water footprint could be reduced by technology and lifestyle changes or mitigated using schemes such as water offsets or water credits. NOTES: According to waterfootprint.org, & amp;amp;quot;the water footprint of an individual, business or nation is defined as the total volume of freshwater that is used to produce the goods and services consumed by the individual, business or nation. & amp;amp;quot;. In essence this is the same footprint metric used for carbon and in a similar way, one can state that a typical Britain consumes 108 liters, or nearly 30 gallons, of water directly each day, and another 4,940 liters indirectly. Included in the indirect figure are, e.g. a glass of beer with a water footprint of 75 liters; a kilo of corn taking 900 liters, 10 being used to produce a sheet of A4 paper, 11,000 for a pair of jeans and 40,000 for a car. Look at all materials or energy you use, consume or wear in your home, university, office or work place during a 24 hour period. this is a huge list and includes travel and leisure. Because 1 day may be unrepresentative, you are required to work out an average using a 10 year period. Take a 10 year period and assume that all household goods and cars have a 10 year life; thus you should include for one unit of each being manufactured and disposed of in the calculation. If an item is not used on the day of calculation, use days per month divided by thirty to calculate the usage. include all annual ''occasions'' such as holidays. You must stat the nature of energy or fuel used. Assume (for the sake of water consumption) that electricity is produced from fossil fuels, but not gas.
