What You Can Do Now Water by the numbers The average person uses about 160 gallons of water a day! How much water do you use? |
|
Toilet flush = 3 gallons bath = 24 gallons 10 minute shower = 22 gallons Brush teeth = 3 gallons Load of wash = 40 gallons Dishwasher = 9 gallons Washing hands = 32 ounces (1/4 gallon) Target one area, then concentrate on using less water. What You Can Do for TomorrowTo preserve the amount of clean fresh water available be aware of keeping pollutants out of the groundwater system by disposing of them properly. All of these: Fertilizer, cleaners, motor oil, paints, pesticides and animal waste, pose a potential threat to our water if they are allowed to enter the ground water system.
