Estimate how much water you consume each year for taking
showers, flushing toilets, doing laundry, and washing dishes. To
determine your shower water consumption: Obtain a container of a
known volume and time how long it takes to fill the container.
Calculate the volumetric flow rate in gallons per minute (or liters
per minute). Then, measure the time that you spend on average when
taking showers. Calculate the volume of the water you consume on a
per shower basis and extrapolate the data to get the yearly value.
For the other activities, look up the size of your toilet water
tank, clothes washing machine, and dish-washing machine. Estimate
on average how many times per day, week, or month you use each of
them. Calculate the volume of the water you consume and determine
the yearly value. Compile your findings into a single brief
report.
