As other posters have pointed out, that is the household number. The individual number is ~300 liters per day. But, ignoring that point, even if it were 1000 extra liters per person, 1000 liters is only ~0.40$ of desalinated water. These Americans spending 40 more cents a day, what profligacy, what waste! Why, if they scrimp and save their water, they could buy one extra Starbucks drink every 10 days. 10 days! And that is desalinated water which massively more expensive and is completely non-viable economically compared to regular sources of water. It should be no wonder why the average American does not have different habits with regard to water usage. There is no real freshwater crisis in wealthy countries with enough lead time to build out desalination capacity. You could argue there is still a environmental crisis if we allocated that much additional energy to desalination, but I leave that as a separate discussion.
