Day two

I was surprised by the amount of water I used on Monday, so I decided to replace the water I used yesterday into my bucket.

This is a layout of my Tuesday water use today; I must that it took a lot of my time to record everything: P

·        I used .250 liters of water to wash my hands and 1.1 liters to wash my face.

·        I brushed my teeth with .25 liters of water.

·        I bought my daily apple juice that lasted all day lol... (.45 liters). (I don’t like to drink water unless I am really tasty L)

·        I had lunch at school, and I washed my plate at the faculty lounge, so I had to estimate the amount of water I used to wash my plate. ( about 1.5 liters)




·        After school, I went to the gym and had about 2 liters of water or less.

·        Because I had to record every water I used on my phone, I found myself washing my hands like crazy due to my germaphobia, I washed my hands 9 time, which means I used 2.25 liters of water.


·        When I got home, I had a bathe with 8.5 liters of water.

·        For dinner, I had a glass of orange juice (.25 liters)

·        I washed my plate with 2 liters of water.

·        I flushed 3 times today, so I used 6 liters for two flushes and 7-8 liters for the third one.


In total I used 37.55 liters on Tuesday.

First day of WaterMiser Mission

  • I bought a sterilite bucket at target on Sunday to use for my project. The bucket capacity is 68 liters/ 18 gallons (61cm x 47cm x 40cm). 

  • On Monday morning, I woke up early because I knew I would have to measure my water use. This is a lay out of my water use in the morning.
1.    Because I already took a shower last night, I only had to wash my face in the morning. I used .250 liters of water to wash my hands and 1.1 liters to wash my face.



2.     I brushed my teeth with .25 liters of water.




3.     I flushed the toilet with 7.5 liters of water.






    4. For breakfast, I had a glass of juice (.25 liters)

Introduction to Watermiser Mission

WaterMiser Mission blog shows my daily use of water for seven days. I am excited to do this project because it reminds me of the way I had to manage my water in Nigeria. I am looking forward to see how much water I use over the couple of days. LET’S GET READY TO MISE!!!
