NOTE: This survey is very general, and we'll take into account if you have water-conserving equipment in your house in our results; this exercise just to give you a quick idea of your water use. There are some other Web sites that will give you a more detailed and accurate estimate of your per-capita water use:

1 Every time you shave minutes off your use of hot water, you also save energy and keep dollars in your pocket. 2  It takes about 70 gallons of water to fill a bathtub, so showers are generally the more water-efficient way to bathe. 3  All of those flushes can add up to nearly 20 gallons a day down the toilet.

One important measure of water use is how much water one person uses in one day, or per-capita water use (per is Latin for by and capita is Latin for head). The number is usually expressed as gallons of water used per person per day. Fill in this form to get a rough estimate of how much water you use inside your home on a typical day. To make things consistent, let's assume it's a rainy and cold Saturday and you stay home all day.

Me, I’m addicted to daily showers. Especially in summer. I’m an American, and I can smell like honeysuckle-jasmine every goshdarn day if I want to. But there is one thing our fragrant friends across the pond have on us…on average, they’re using a lot less water.

Water. We all need it, we can’t live without it, and we are using more and more of it. Although we appear to have plenty of rain in the United States, our water resources are under pressure. We use 127% more water today than we did in 1950. Quite simply, we are consuming too much. Our demand for water increases yearly, to the extent that no matter what the water companies do, eventually they will not be able to keep up. Water also requires huge amounts of energy, both to treat it and pump it to our houses, so our thirst for water is damaging our planet in more ways than one.
