Perform an experiment by placing a container under a leaky faucet and actually measure the amount of water accumulated in an hour (you can simulate a leaky faucet by just partially closing the faucet). You are to design the experiment. Think about the parameters that you need to measure. Express and project your findings in gallons /day, gallons /week, gallons /month, and gallons /year. At this rate, how much water is wasted by 10,000,000 households with leaky faucets.Write a brief report to discuss your findings.
