If you have a water meter outside your house then try taking a reading every day for a week and see how much you actually use.


That would include water for flushing the loo, baths and showers etc, and presumably making no effort to economise. For example, some people leave the tap running while they brush their teeth. Surely you wouldn't do that if you were subsisting on your stored water? Similarly they throw their cooking water away, even though it's drinkable (or can at least be used for flushing).


Correct. My point was that whilst 72 litres (or whatever the final calculation yielded) seems like an insanely large amount it would be worth comparing it to actual unrestricted usage as a sobering exercise.
