Figure 5 (Marae 2): Three months of occupancy (day only and day and overnight) and total site water usage data - Data shows regular marae usage. There is a reasonable correlation between site water usage and recorded occupancy. Peak daily water use of approx. 9000 litres coincided with recorded occupancy of 200 (140 during the day only 60 during the day and overnight which was the second highest number of occupants recorded). Peak recorded occupancy of 260 people (160 during the day only 50 during the day and overnight) coincided with daily water use of approx. 8500 litres (which was the second largest daily water volume recorded). Recorded water flow during periods of no recorded occupancy suggests reasonably high levels of water leakage.
