549mil 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?
