Comment on How can England possibly be running out of water?

UK households use more water, mostly on showering and bathing, than other comparable European countries, at about 150 litres a day per capita. For France the average is 128, Germany 122 and Spain 120 (although in Italy its 243 litres a day).
Meh. I’m sure that we use more than that in the US.

The average American uses around 82 gallons per day per person in the household.
So 310 liters, over double the British average.

It looks like people in Phoenix, Arizona average something like 150 gallons/day for residential stuff, almost twice that again, and they live in a desert.
