How many litres of water do you use in a day? Drinking is not a lot, however thirsty you get. Probably cooking your food uses more. So does bathing and showering. And flushing the lavatory is most likely the biggest water user in your house. But watch where the graph goes next. For all that is tiny compared to the huge amounts used to irrigate the crops and water the animals that make up your daily diet. | ||
