Overview
  • Water Use Data
  • Texas Water Development Board
  • www.twdb.state.tx.us
  • Health Data
  • Texas Department of Health Services
  • www.dshs.state.tx.us
  • Low Birth Weight
  • Death rates
  • Overall
  • Due to specific causes
  • All Data for 2002, separated by county

Conclusions
  • Typical grad student conclusion none
  • No obvious statistical correlation between
    municipal water use and overall health
  • Possible Sources of Error
  • Misinterpretation of Municipal Water Use
  • Population Errors skew death rates higher (or
    lower)
  • Statistical Misleading Spacing of Color
    Classification

13
Future Work(For Written Report)
  • Larger Time Period
  • More Statistical Research
  • Leading causes of death in county vs. water
    consumption
  • What the heck is going on in Maverick County?
  • For starters, No. 5 and No. 6 Top Employers in
    Eagle Pass (Maverick County Seat) are a Casino
    and a Shotgun Manufacturer
