At work, our Wells Fargo Website posts a little random fact every day. This was today's fact...
In 2000, the United States alone used 408 billion gallons of water per day. This is the equivalent of approximately 1400 gallons of water per day for every man, woman, and child and that is enough water to fill 14 standard-size bathtubs! This amount includes water use that is direct (drinking, bathing, flushing the toilet, etc.) and indirect (watering the lawn, washing the car, commercial and industrial use, etc).
This is unbelievable to me!
Many places don't have access to ANY clean water!!!
People die every day, every minute because of lack of water or lack of clean water!
And as a country, we use enough water daily for every single person to fill 14 bathtubs!
Wow.
