Another perspective:
USA uses 322 billion gallons of water everyday. [1]
240,000 swimming pool contains 120 billion gallons.
USA would survive approx 8 Hrs on the moon.

- SamBam 6y agoI think you swapped the numerator and the denominator. If the US uses more water than is on the moon every day, how would it survive 2.5 days? (There's also some conversion problems because the article took the amount of water on the moon and estimated a number of swimming pools, and you've taken the number of swimming pools and estimated the amount of water. From the article, the moon has 600 billion kg of water, or 159 billion gallons.)
