Here are some more facts about water usage from the April 2010 National Geographic magazine issue. These pertain to world wide usage.
1) Americans use about 100 gallons of water at home each day. (Sounds large? Think about clothes washer, dishwashers, showers, baths, watering lawn)
2) Millions of the world's poorest subsist on fewer than 5 gallons per day.
3) 46 % of people on earth don't have water piped to their homes.
4) Women in developing countries walk an average of 3.7 miles to get water.
5) In 15 years, 1.8 billion people will live in regions of severe water scarcity.
