Analysis of water consumption and reuse in public school students' homes in Nova Xavantina - MT

Abstract

In a few years, water recycling will be a practice that will gain many supporters. The importance of encouraging students to develop a critical consciousness and to become aware of the future of this water resource that is so important for our planet is one of the means that educators can subsidize in their subjects, regardless of the area of knowledge. From this perspective, the objective of this study was to analyze the consumption and reuse of water in the homes of students from the Escola Estadual Coronel Vanique in Nova Xavantina - MT, in addition to promoting the awareness of students and their families about the water issue. This study was carried out in Nova Xavantina, Mato Grosso, at Escola Estadual Coronel Vanique. The data were collected by applying semi-closed questionnaires to elementary and high school students. The results presented in this article show us that the school can serve as a channel for the distribution of useful information for the preservation and conservation of the environment, besides serving as a base for educational and ecological purposes. It is hoped that, after the development of this work, students will become even more sensitive to water problems and change their attitudes towards saving water, and that they will become multipliers of this awareness in their families and in the community.
