We use a lot of water for drinking, cooking, and cleaning. In fact, people use TOO much water. Look at the chart below for the average water usage for some activities. To compare, a large plastic pop bottle holds 2 litres (or 2 L) of pop. To brush your teeth with the tap left running, it takes about 4 litres (4 L) of water. That would be 2 pop bottles full of water every time you brush your teeth!
Read the "Average Water Usage" chart closely and answer these questions:
What two activities take up the most water?
Would it be better to take a bath or shower?
How many litres of water do you save by turning off the tap while you brush your teeth?
What saves more water: washing the dishes by hand or by the dishwasher?
