What If Americans Only Had As Much Water As Families In Africa?
What Is Your Water Footprint?
The average family in Africa gets by on only five gallons of water a day, according to this thought-provoking PSA video from bewaterwise.com, a project of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.
The average American family (directly) uses 552 gallons of water a day, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Clearly, that is an inequality, and it may give U.S. consumers pause when it comes to wasting water.
End of excerpt.
