How Much Drinking Water Do...

How Much Drinking Water Do We Use In Our Homes? "On average, our society uses almost 100 gallons of drinking water per person per day. Traditionally, water use rates are described in units of gallons per capita per day (gpcd), gallons used by one person in one day. Of the "drinking water" supplied by public water systems, only a small portion is actually used for drinking. As residential water consumers, we use most water for other purposes, such as toilet flushing, bathing, cooking, cleaning, and lawn watering."
