Survey reflection

For my survey, I found most interesting how many people did not check the water that they drink. Only about 30% of the people that took my survey said that they frequently check their household water. So that means that 70% of people out there could be drinking contaminated water. That really shocked me to think of people not caring that they could be drinking some really gross things. Another thing that shocked me that I learned from my survey is that there really isn’t that many people out there that know the water treatment process, about an average of 45% of people said they knew the waste water treatment process and the consequences that came from the water not being treated properly. Something I would do differently when making a survey for a research paper is that I would think up better questions to ask people with more of boarder of answers other than saying they are “very aware” or they do something “very often” this made my use of this information very limited as to how I could put the facts into my paper. All I really could do is use it as percentages like how I did in the beginning of this paragraph here. Where the information I got from it was very useful I feel like I could have gotten a lot more information if I asked the questions and wrote the answers out differently.
