Water Usage
What is water used for?
The estimated amount of water used by a person each day is about 80-100 gallons of water each day. They are used for showering, washing hands, dishes, and cars, flushing the toilet, watering lawns, brushing teeth, etc. An average family of 4 uses about 881 a week just by flushing the toilet. The average 5-minute shower takes 15-25 gallons of water, and around 40 gallons are used in 10-minutes. Some people use about 5 gallons of water if they leave the water running while brushing their teeth. If something isn't done adjourn this now, the entire world might run out of water.
