Water covers 71% of the Earth, so every year, the Earth’s water quantity remains constant. However, 97% of it is salty water in the oceans, leaving us only 3% of fresh water. Moving forward, 2.5% of that water is frozen, meaning that only <\/span>0.5%<\/span><\/a> of fresh water is suitable for human consumption.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Worldwide, we use more than 4 trillion m<\/span>\u00b3<\/span> of freshwater per year. From the beginning of 2022, we have consumed more than <\/span>2,002 trillion<\/span><\/a> m\u00b3 of fresh water. Besides human consumption, <\/span>70%<\/span><\/a> of freshwater withdrawals is used for agricultural purposes, 20% for industrial use, and the remaining 10% for domestic use.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Water usage differs from country to country and is influenced by many factors, such as population growth, industrial, and agricultural use. To figure out which countries use the most water, <\/span>Finish<\/span><\/a> teamed up with Dan Krause, a senior conservation biologist, and Dr. Ali Nazemi, an associate professor, to create the Finish Comparison Tool, which surveyed users about their water usage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t<\/div> \t\t\t\t

On an average scale, an American uses <\/span>101.5 gallons<\/span><\/a> of water per day. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in 2016, an average U.S. household used <\/span>300 gallons<\/span><\/a> of water daily. However, by 2020, this number decreased. By surveying Americans on how much water they use daily, the Water Footprint Calculator reported that an average U.S. household uses <\/span>138 gallons of water per day<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 This translates to U.S households using 4,140 gallons of water per month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Regarding <\/span>age groups<\/span><\/a>, U.S. children and adolescents drink 23 ounces of tap water per day, whereas adults drink almost twice as much (44 ounces).<\/span><\/p>

Unfortunately, not all the available fresh water goes to proper use. According to the Washington State Department of Health, the average person wastes up to <\/span>30 gallons<\/span><\/a> of water per day. So, it is this safe and accessible water we waste that people in <\/span>Africa<\/span><\/a> do not have access to, forcing them to rely on potentially hazardous drinking water sources.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t<\/div> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t<\/section> \t\t\t\t

Worldwide, bottled water usage is increasing by <\/span>7%<\/b><\/span><\/a>. Although it has its advantages, it also comes with several drawbacks, such as <\/span>14 million<\/span><\/a> tons of plastic ending up in the ocean yearly. This means that every minute that goes by, a million plastic bottles are being purchased, and what may be a one-time use to society is a lifetime threat to the ocean.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t<\/div> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t<\/section> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t<\/div> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t<\/section> \t\t\t\t
