DQ-2 Observe and collect information of each family member's consumption of water in a day.

Estimated water consumption for household use-

Washing vegetable & utensils= 10L

Cooking= 3L

Mopping= 10L

Washing clothes= 40L

Watering house plants= 5L

                       Conclusion

We in the family actually consume more water than it is estimated. The reason behind the overuse of water is that poor infrastructure for storing water in the house, poor water management, lack of knowledge regarding the importance of water in common people.
