design a water saving campaign worksheet 1 7 LOGO - Can you think of a picture or symbol that expresses your campaign? Draw it below. This is called the “logo” and often reflects the theme. It can be used on stickers, pamphlets or web pages. If you get a sponsor to help your campaign, put their logo on the information you give out. 8 BUDGET - How much will it all cost? Think about all the parts of your campaign and the timeframe. Make a list of all the things in your campaign that cost money. You should find out the real cost for these and then add them up. ITEM cost BUDGET TOTAL: 9 INDICATORS - How will you know your campaign was successful? What things will have changed? This might include saving money, reducing waste or changes in behaviour, values or technology. These are called ‘indicators’ and are proof that the campaign worked. List your indicators below. 10 REVIEW - After doing your budget and indicators, perhaps you should look back and review your campaign. Is anything you would like to change? Do you need more money? 11 RESULTS - Once implemented, you need to see if the campaign is working. Look at your indicators and target audience and work out how you will measure success (ie water bills, surveys, interviews, improvements) 12 REWARD - If your campaign suceeds, what sort of reward do you think is appropriate for you to receive?

assessing water conservation schemes worksheet 2 background Over time, there have been many ideas for conserving and managing water supplies. Some of these ideas have been around for a long time, and some are very new. For example, many older Australians used rainwater tanks as their main source of drinking water and grey water on the garden when they were young. This was a normal and important way to save water and use it wisely. Perhaps we need to go back to some of these approaches. To help plan for the future and assess a variety of ideas a cost-benefit analysis can be used. A cost-benefit analysis can be applied to many different situations, for example, ‘Should I buy a new bike to get to school or save my money to buy a car in a couple of years?’. In the case of water, a cost-benefit analysis is a useful way of weighing up a range of ideas on how to save water to create a more sustainable future. There are a number of ways to do a cost-benefit analysis, and also many ways of presenting the results. Some are extremely complex, whilst others quite simple. This worksheet offers an example of a simple but effective costbenefit analysis. The ratings that are assigned to the ‘cost’ and ‘benefit’ are relative; they are a good way to compare different proposals but they do not offer detailed information. Here are a couple of examples. HIGH COST LOW HIGH COST/ LOW BENEFIT Put covers on dams to reduce evaporation Stickers to encourage people to use less water at home LOW COST / LOW BENEFIT HIGH COST/ HIGH BENEFIT Supply all homes with water saving devices eg showerheads Turn the tap off while brushing your teeth LOW COST / HIGH BENEFIT LOW BENEFIT HIGH What is the cost-benefit of everyone turning the tap off when they clean their teeth? Low cost / high benefit Why? It would cost nothing for everyone to turn the tap off whilst cleaning teeth but it would save lots of water (especially if you add up all the savings across a whole community). This option would also mean that your water bill could be reduced as you use less water. What is the cost-benefit of chopping down all the trees so that they won’t use water? High cost / low benefit Why? There would be lots of different types of cost to us (eg economic, environmental, social, cultural). Although trees use water to grow they also release water back into the atmosphere through evapotranspiration, returning it to the water cycle. Water kit . ssS . 001 . april 2010 16
