Critical Water Use Bill by mostafa tohidifar from iran

The Earth has 1,386,000,000 km3 of water total but only 2.5 percent of that is fresh water (35,029,000 km3 or 9,254,661,800 billion gallons of fresh water).

Less than 1 percent of the world's fresh water (or 0.01 percent of all water) is usable in a renewable fashion.

The average person needs a minimum of 1.3 gallons (5 liters) of water per day to survive in a moderate climate at an average activity level. The minimum amount of water needed for drinking, cooking, bathing, and sanitation is 13 gallons (50 liters).

The average person in the United States uses between 65 to 78 gallons of water (250 to 300 liters) per day for drinking, cooking, bathing, and watering their yard. The average person in the Netherlands uses only 27 gallons (104 liters) per day for the same tasks.

The average person in the African nation of Gambia uses only 1.17 gallons (4.5 liters) of water per day.
