Are you saying the average person uses 36,600 gal per year? That seems very high.

- dastx 7y agoI'm not surprised by that number. Showering, flushing, washing dishes uses a lot of water
- newnewpdro 7y agoYep. Bathing and flush toilets are huge. It's crazy that potable water is used to flush toilets.
- corodra 7y ago549mil gallons allowed to use in a year divided by 365 days equals 1,504,109 daily average for google (let's round to 1.5mil). USGS estimates 80-100 gallons per American per day. 1,500,000 google's daily average water use / 100 gallons per American per day = 15,000 Google will use roughly the equivalent of 15,000 Americans worth of daily water. Further math: 100 gallons per American per day x 365 days = 36,500 per person per year. Edit: Had a before coffee typo and added some more math
- jmknoll 7y agoDoes that number include the water cost of the food we eat? Or is it only direct personal usage?
- corodra 7y ago"Estimates vary, but, on average, each person uses about 80-100 gallons of water per day, for indoor home uses." https://www.usgs.gov/special-topic/water-science-school/science/water-qa-how-much-water-do-i-use-home-each-day?qt-science_center_objects=0#qt-science_center_objects https://www.usgs.gov/special-topic/water-science-school/scie...
