  $16.667$ litres
  
  Explanation:
  
  The total volumeof water available is $600ml$ and there are $36$ people,so:
  
  let $v$ be the amount of water each person gets.
  
  $36\times v =600$
  
  Dividing both sides by 36 gives the amount per person in litres.
  
  $v = \dfrac{600}{36} = 16.667$
