The Great Debate Lesson Plan 1 Thames Water The Great Debate Lesson plan 1

The Great Debate Lesson Plan 1 Introduction  At the end of this session you will:  Have an awareness of water consumption in the UK and how it relates to other parts of the world  Be aware of the importance of water conservation and efficiency in the UK  Understand and be aware of your role in the next session  Be tasked to prepare and research for this role  Have some simple tips to hand which will enable you to reduce your own water consumption

The Great Debate Lesson Plan 1 Introduction – The Scenario  Clear Water Park is a fictitious development of flats, starter homes, family houses, executive homes and businesses situated in Clear- Water on –Thames a beautiful part of the Thames Water region  Clear Water Park has been selected as an area to become one of the UK’s first showcase water neutral communities.  This will mean the whole town of Clear-Water-on-Thames offsetting the water consumption of the new development. Requiring a period of considerable change for the existing community while state of the art technology and new water efficient processes are installed.  The residents of Clear-Water-on-Thames and future residents of Clear Water Park have been asked to think about and possibly change their water consumption habits to ensure water neutrality.

The Great Debate Lesson Plan 1 Introduction Continued – The Scenario  You will be taking on the role of residents or panel representatives made up of interested groups in a debate held by the Local Authority focusing on water management and efficiency.  Some of you will be members of the panel, others will be residents with opinions to voice.  You will be provided with Character Profile Cards but you may wish to make up your own profile. You should develop your characters profile by matching them with opinions and sound bites, and choose whether you are for or against the behaviour and technological changes that may be required so that the community can become water neutral.  Use the extra information provided to have facts and sound bites ready to support your point of view.  Everyone is encouraged to raise points and ask questions.

The Great Debate Lesson Plan 1 Debate Objectives  Explain proposed plans for water efficiency and to get the agreement of residents for the use of proposed water efficiency measures  Gain information / opinions from existing residents and from interested parties  Reach a conclusion about whether becoming water neutral will benefit the existing and future residents of Clear Water on Thames and Clear Water Park.

The Great Debate Lesson Plan 1 Input and discussion Water Consumption

The Great Debate Lesson Plan 1 Why is careful water usage so important?  The South-East of the UK has been identified as an area of water stress  During the past two decades we, in the UK, have been steadily increasing the amount of water we use.  In fact, we consume water so freely that most of the time we don’t even think about it.  But our lives would be very different if we didn’t have enough water.

The Great Debate Lesson Plan 1 How much water do we use?

The Great Debate Lesson Plan 1 How much water do we use? My Daily Consumption Write here YOUR estimated daily consumption

The Great Debate Lesson Plan 1 How much water do we use? On average, each person in the UK uses 160 litres per day But that’s okay – The UK gets loads of rain… Doesn’t it?

The Great Debate Lesson Plan 1 The Water cycle

The Great Debate Lesson Plan 1 Conclusion Lowering your impact

The Great Debate Lesson Plan 1 Lowering your impact – what can be done?  Use a shower ‘timer’ to make sure you only use the water you need.  Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth – this can save about 6 litres of water each time.  Use a washing-up bowl or an efficient dishwasher instead of washing-up under a running tap.  Encouraging your family to use water efficient and ‘eco friendly’ products like water-saving shower heads and ‘Hippo’ or ‘Save-a-flush’ bags
