WATER NEWS — Where America Stands: America’s Dwindling Water Supply (CBS)
Americans are the world’s biggest water consumers.
By 9 a.m., after showering, using the bathroom, brushing our teeth and having a cup of coffee, each of us typically has used more than 30 gallons of water.
After doing the dishes – 12 gallons per load – running the washing machine – 43 gallons per load – and watering the lawn – 10 gallons per minute –
by the time we go to bed, we’ve used up to 150 gallons.
Because Americans use so much, the report card shows water is an emerging crisis here.
