How many gallons of water is wasted everyday?

Question

How many gallons of water is wasted everyday?

Answer 1

Lol just ask the water Police in L.A. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/11/2...

or ask this guy in Georgia http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=38481...

Waste is a very broad definition because some daily processes need to use water while others don't but someone may see it differently than I or you do.

Answer 2

That depends on what you mean by wasted, everyone seems to have their own idea on what has been wasted and what has been well used.

Oh and is that US Gallons or UK Gallons that you're asking about?

Answer 3

20 million illegal aliens using 2 gallons per day is 40 million gallons wasted on just the illegal problem. Those 20 million will become more than 50 million in one generation with the breeding they do. And then well over 100 million the generation after that. God help the country. I'm glad I'm old. Mass starvation is the end result of this out of control breeding. The water will be gone long before that.

Answer 4

I am not sure that water is wasted.  It changes form all the time.  Water is always changing, river to aquifer to river to ocean.  There is always evaporation or precipitation.  The idea of wasting water is human, in that, one user wants more water for a cooling process for a manufacturing business, another for washing cans at his recycling company.  Las Vegas always screams for more water and so do land California and Arizona.  We all wash dishes, flush the toilet, etc.  The water cycles through these activities and goes to the next use.  

Look up "Small Flows", an EPA monthly publication and see what it says.
