Water Consumption in Edmonton During the 2010 Winter Olympic Gold Medal Hockey Final 480 End End of End of 460 of 3rd 1st period 2nd water consumption (megalitres) 440 420 400 380 Face o ff 360 340 27-Feb 320 28-Feb Canada Medal 300 wins! ceremony 280 noon 1 pm 2 pm 3 pm 4 pm 5 pm 6 pm source: Epcor Notes: 1. The 2010 Olympic Men’s Hockey gold medal final match on Sunday 28-Feb was a great example where a behavioural change could happen 2. Edmonton monitors its water usage at all times 3. Someone noticed that the water usage on 28-Feb was very different from the day before, Saturday 27-Feb 4. It is very easy to see the signature of the hockey game on the water usage chart, including the three periods, the overtime and even the medal ceremony 5. During the game, water consumption dropped by 5% 6. All it took was people flushing between periods Data Source: EPCOR Graph Source: John Streicker
