Activity 2.2 – Cyrosphere

 Monthly Water Amounts

Nov. 9,600gal. / Dec. 8,370gal. / Jan. 9,800gal. 

9,600 + 8,370 + 9,800 = 27,770/3 months = 9256/month on average


Per Person Monthly Water Usage

3 People in house

9256/3 = 3085gallons/person/month


Per Person Daily Water Usage

3085/30 = 102 gallons per day


My Household Online Water Usage (134 Amber Ash, Kyle, Texas, 78640)

Name of Water Calculator /      URL      / My Per Person Usage
 
City of Kyle Utilities / Water Department | City of Kyle, Texas - Official Website / 103 gallons/day/per person

Public Utility Commissions of Texas / Water Address Search (texas.gov) / 94 gallons/day/per person  

Water District Database / Search the Water Districts Database (WDD) (texas.gov) / 111 gallons/day/per person

Summary 

I fond out that my household use about same amount of water as the average American family per month based on my utility bill. This is a little bit of a surprise to me for I feel like I use a lot of water, and am surprised to see that I am somewhere in the middle. The outside party water usage calculators were not to far out in estimating my per person water usage. With the Public Utility Commissions of Texas water calculator averaging slightly less than my current usage. As well as the Water Districts Database calculator averaging slighting more than my current usage.

Abby Barrows, a marine research scientist from MI, collected water samples locally, about a half a liter , and took those samples to a lab. When she placed the water samples under a microscope she was in disbelief of all of the colored plastic particles she could see in the water. From the water sample she took from a nearby lake, she began to wonder what could be happening in the ocean, or even our drinking water? She began to wonder, where are these specs not? So Abby Barrows partnered with adventure scientists to conduct a research to see just how contaminated water is. Adventure science is a nonprofit organization that gathers scientists and researchers together across the world to study natural resources. Upon their examinations, almost every single ...

( What research evidence supports _________?Type up several facts and basic knowledge from the reading. Relate this to what you find in other resources, prior activities for stronger scores.)) In 2017 in the city of Dalton GA, there was an announcement made of a new solar project. Hazelhurst solar farm #2, which is located on Silicon Ranch, is over 480 acres of pure beauty. And they plan to expand, they have an additional 450 for growth. This is the second project of its kind, the first one being only one mile from the second, and the second one is actually THREE times the size of the first. This source of green energy not only prevents issues for the environment, but it also creates revenue for the county, and over 600 jobs. Hazelhurst is expected to revenue the county an estimated 8 million dollars over the next 25 years, whic...
