Hey Pollie and ww ladies,
There is an exhibit at the Museum of Natural History that is all about water! it is titled Water: H2O + life
The website has links to a “water calculator” so that you can figure out your water footprint.
here are some interesting facts from the website (water used per activity)
Bath: 50 gallons
Shower: 2 gallons per minute
Teeth brushing: 1 gallon
Hands/face washing: 1 gallon
Face/leg shaving: 1 gallon
Dishwasher: 20 gallons/load
Dishwashing by hand: 5 gallons/load
Clothes washing (machine): : 10 gallons/load
Toilet flush: 3 gallons
Glasses of water drunk: 8 oz. per glass (1/16th of a gallon)
holy crap.
