Us person does not consume 1600 liters a day
- ipnon 9mo agoI think this number is derived from the water used to create all the goods they consume. Let's say every American eats 1lb of beef per day, and nothing else, to create a simple model. Then every American has a water footprint of about 1,850 gallons.

- simonw 9mo agoWhat number would you provide for that?
- NicuCalcea 9mo agoIt does seem high, most of the estimates I find are around half that.
- sowbug 9mo agoThe almonds that an average person eats in the US account for about 70 liters of water daily. That's already 5% of 1,600, and more than a typical shower.
