12 U.S. Water Use (USGS)  Americans use 183 gallons of water a day for cooking, washing, flushing, and watering purposes  4,000 gallons of water are needed to grow one bushel of corn, 11,000 gallons to grow one bushel of wheat, and about 135,000 gallons to grow one ton of alfalfa  1,400 gallons of water are used to produce a meal of a quarter- pound value meal  1,800 gallons of water are needed to produce the cotton in a pair jeans, and 400 gallons to produce the cotton in a shirt

13 Your Water Use and Water Footprint  USGS Water Use Calculator USGS Water Use Calculator USGS Water Use Calculator  Water Consumption Calculator Water Consumption Calculator Water Consumption Calculator  Water Footprint Water Footprint Water Footprint  H 2 O Conserve Water Footprint Calculator H 2 O Conserve Water Footprint Calculator H 2 O Conserve Water Footprint Calculator

14 Water Stress and Water Scarcity  Water Stress = Less than 1700 m 3 per person per year  Water Scarcity = Less than 1000 m 3 per person per year  1.5 billion people lack access to safe drinking water supplies (World Bank)  2.5 billion people lack access to basic sanitation (World Bank)  Malarial and diarrheic diseases are leading causes of infant mortality
