Depends on how you use it. Use less water by:
- Not washing up, use disposable plates, cups and cutleries (use less space then the water require to wash a equivelant of regular dishes.)
- Not flushing the toilet if you only peed
- Sponge bad/wet wipes, instead on a shower

(and ofcorse not water your garden, mopping the house, etc)

These meassures greatly reduces your water consuption. I have 55 Liters stored as emergency drinking water and a 6pack in the car. I also have other form of liquids (milk, juice, sportsdrink) and water in my cleaning spray thingy (no idea what it's called, but i normally use it to clean my bike)
