Students recorded their water use for 2 days. On the first day, they were not aware of the challenge, and simply recorded the approximate amount of water they used. The next day, they were asked to be considerate of the amount of water they used, and make choices to conserve water. For example, one student recognized they did not need to run their dishwasher when it was not full and others made a commitment to keep their showers under 5 minutes.
