In an average home, showering is the second largest water use after toilets. The average shower uses 15.8 gallons (59.7 liters) and lasts for 7.7 minutes at average flow rate of 2.1 gallons per minute (gpm) (7.9 liters per minute). [1] On average, in a household of average size (2.65 persons) 12.4 showers are taken each week.
The average flow rate at the mouth of the Amazon is sufficient to fill more than 83 such pools each second. The estimated global total for all rivers is 1.2 × 10 6 m 3 /s (43 million cu ft/s), [1] of which the Amazon would be approximately 18%.
All rivers with average discharge more than 15,000 cubic feet per second are listed. Estimates are approximate, because data are variable with time period measured and also because many rivers lack a gauging station near their point of outflow.
Although tiered residential rates will vary depending on household size and use, BWS says if new rates are approved, the average single-family household—using about 9, 000 gallons of water per ...
The high flow element is typically a turbine meter. When flow rates drop to where the high flow element cannot measure accurately, a check valve closes to divert water to a smaller element that can measure the lower flow rates accurately. The low flow element is typically a multi-jet or PD meter.
The study found that about 53% of total average household water use, or more than 192 US gallons (0.73 m 3) per household per day, was used for landscaping and other outdoor uses. Meanwhile, indoor use accounted for more than 170 US gallons (0.64 m 3) per household per day. The most in-home water consumption is toilet flushes, using 20% of the ...
