An Ocean starts from a single drop...

I made 2 discoveries today...

The water from our school taps runs a total duration of 21* seconds.
Always, i'd wash my hands for 3 secs and spend the rest of the time watching clean, heated water start washing the sink instead. So this time i literally counted, from a few taps in a few locations.
N if u think 18 sec is no big deal, i suggest u try counting in front of the mirror...

A dripping faucet or showerhead wastes pretty well 140 gallons of water PER day. Apparently someone even more meticulous than i did a much more conclusive experiment n posted it on the newspapers.

My next discovery?
That 1 gallon is close to 4 litres.
My mind is whirling, I cant yet bear to do the calculation on our over-zealous taps...

But I'll be back...(once i devise a plan...)
