How Much Water Does the Average U.S. Household Use Each Day?

August 3, 2020 by Karen Hill

Each person in the United States uses from 80 to 200 gallons (303 to 757 liters) of water a day.

Most of that is used to flush toilets.

About 70% of the freshwater in the world is consumed by agriculture.

Water is used as a solvent in manufacturing and plays an important role in the world economy.

A recent report suggests that by 2030, water demand will exceed supply by 50% in some developing regions of the world.
