US Water Consumption

Do you know how you use water? 
400 billion gallons of water are used in the US per day
American residents use about 100 gallons of water per day
95% of the water that enters a household ends up down the drain
US water usage has increased 127% since 1950
 
Compare to how other countries... 
Residential Europeans use approximately 50 gallons per day
Sub Saharan Africans use about 2-5 gallons per day
More than 1 billion people live on the amount of water we use to brush our teeth
