Worldwide Water Consumption

Think about this:
How much water do you typically drink on a daily basis?
How often do you leave the faucet running without using it? For Example: Do you leave the faucet running when you brush your teeth?
How often do you dump the remaining water in a water bottle or cup you were drinking out of?

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
