The 100 gallon average includes laundry, bathroom, home landscaping, golf courses and other things as well. Very little of that would be for drinking.

- paulcole 3y agoAm I still missing something? 950,000 divided by 40000 = 23.75 liters I feel like that is an absurdly low amount for a person to drink per year. Also, I don't think the 100 gallon number includes industrial use like "golf courses". > The average American family uses more than 300 gallons of water per day at home. Roughly 70 percent of this use occurs indoors. In addition, there are other miscellaneous uses of water in the house which may be very significant, depending on the degree of water conservation by the household. https://water.phila.gov/pool/files/home-water-use-ig5.pdf https://water.phila.gov/pool/files/home-water-use-ig5.pdf
