The question of how much water people use per day varies but it is about 80-100 gallons per day per person. That's alot of water. To complete a simple daily task like taking a shower, you use about 2-2.5 gallons of water per minute and 4 gallons a minute for older shower heads. And flushing a toilet uses about 3 gallons for older models and 1.2-1.6 gallons for new toilets. In the year of 2010 alone,california used about 38 billion gallons of water per day. California is currently in a drought.
