  11. U.S. Water Use (USGS) • Americans use 183 gallons of water a day for cooking, washing, flushing, and watering purposes • 4,000 gallons of water are needed to grow one bushel of corn, 11,000 gallons to grow one bushel of wheat, and about 135,000 gallons to grow one ton of alfalfa • 1,400 gallons of water are used to produce a meal of a quarter- pound value meal • 1,800 gallons of water are needed to produce the cotton in a pair jeans, and 400 gallons to produce the cotton in a shirt

  12. Your Water Use and Water Footprint • USGS Water Use Calculator • Water Consumption Calculator • Water Footprint • H2O Conserve Water Footprint Calculator

  13. Water Stress and Water Scarcity • Water Stress = Less than 1700 m3 per person per year • Water Scarcity = Less than 1000 m3 per person per year • 1.5 billion people lack access to safe drinking water supplies (World Bank) • 2.5 billion people lack access to basic sanitation (World Bank) • Malarial and diarrheic diseases are leading causes of infant mortality
