Approximately how many gallons of water are used per year in a typical home? 10,000 gallons
Explanation:
The gallon is the measurement unit for volume and fluid capacity in US customary units and British imperial systems. One US gallon is defined as 3.7854 liters / 231 cubic inches. At 17°C, a US liquid gallon of water is equal to 3.78 kgs or 8.34 pounds.
In 1974, acccording to the book Nutrition for Good Health, co-authored by nutritionists Margaret McWilliams and Frederick Stare, it is recommended that the average adult consumes between six to eight glasses of water a day.
For 8 glasses a day is about 2 liters its because 2 liters (0.5 US gal) is about 8 glasses of water. 1 gallon usually contains 3.7854 liters. One house usually consists of 4 people (father, mother, brother, sister). Then one house will consume about 8 liters (2 US gal) a day
1 Year = 365 days
365 days * 2 gallon = 730 gallon JUST for drinking
Estimates is vary, but on average each person uses about 80-100 gallons of water per day especially for indoor home uses. The largest use of household water is to flush the toilet, and to take showers and baths.
Therefore for 4 person = 400 gallons of water per day for to flush the toilet, and to take showers and baths.
Therefore the total of how many gallons of water are used per year in a typical home is 10,000 gallons
