Water flowing through opened faucets (including kitchen, bathroom, utility sink faucets, and hose bibs) accounts for 19 percent (26.3 gphd, or 100 lphd) of total indoor water use in an average household where faucets are used 51 times per day. On average, faucets are opened for 30 seconds at a flow of 1 gpm (gallons per minute) and an average ...
This indicator says a country or region experiences "water stress" when annual water supplies drop below 1,700 cubic meters per person per year. [35] Levels between 1,700 and 1,000 cubic meters will lead to periodic or limited water shortages. When water supplies drop below 1,000 cubic meters per person per year the country faces "water scarcity".
The recommended daily amount of drinking water for humans varies. [ 1] It depends on activity, age, health, and environment. In the United States, the Adequate Intake for total water, based on median intakes, is 4.0 litres (141 imp fl oz; 135 US fl oz) per day for males older than 18, and 3.0 litres (106 imp fl oz; 101 US fl oz) per day for ...
The average Yemeni has access to only 140 cubic meters of water per year (101 gallons per day) for all uses, while the Middle Eastern average is 1,000 m 3 /yr, and the internationally defined threshold for water stress is 1,700 cubic meters per year. [4]
There are 113 thousand commercial car washes in the U.S. and about 8 million cars are washed each day. Average use of fresh water to wash a car is about 38 gallons per vehicle (gpv) in automatic bay and conveyor types and about 15 gallons in self-service bays. Significantly less fresh water is needed in washes with reclaim water systems.
Water resources and use. The major river in Ethiopia is the Blue Nile. However, most drinking water in Ethiopia comes from ground water, not rivers. Ethiopia has 12 river basins with an annual runoff volume of 122 billion m 3 of water and an estimated 2.6–6.5 billion m 3 of ground water potential.
According to the PEAP for 2004–5 to 2007–8, water use in rural areas ranged between 12 and 14 liters per person per day (L/p/d). In urban towns and centers with a population of more than 5,000 people, the PEAP estimated an average consumption of less than 17 L/p/d. The national target is an average consumption of 20 L/p/d.

This is an average amount per capita of 1.385 Gm 3 /yr., or 3.800 liters per person per day. [42] On average 92% of this is embedded in agricultural products consumed, 4.4% in industrial products consumed, and 3.6% is domestic water use. The global water footprint related to producing goods for export is 1.762 Gm 3 /y. [43]
