yoZ!,For PW groups without any statistics and has only plain info, I thought of an idea to help u: SURVEYS or INTERVIEWS!!!
you can use surverys or interviews to gather feedbacks, data on other people's understanding of the topic you are working on.
For example,
water conservation - can use survey to investigate how much $$ a household spends on water, what are the common activities that use large amount of water, what are the common water saving methods, does the household "save water", etc....
politics - can use survey to find out students' knowledge in the history of singapore water, etc
sports - can use survey to find out students' knowledge on the sport, how many know how to play, how many willing to pay the $$, find out the sport is popular among which age group, etc
tap water - can find out how many pple would drink from tap, their knowledge on "cleanliness" of tap water, how many of the elders disagree to drink from tap, etc.
reservoirs - popularity of the reservoirs, knowledge about the facilities and activities available in the reservoirs, etc.
Depending on what story you wish to tell, you can create a simple survey to ask people questions and collect some statistics to make your story more convincing. Of course, knowing that you are students, your sample size may be small (maybe 20 to 50??) but at least you tried!
If you are interested, please come and discuss with me your ideas so that I can give some advices.
