A typical water meter register showing a meter reading of 8.3 gallons. Notice the black "1" on the odometer has not yet fully turned over, so only the red hand is read. Water meters connected to remote reading devices through three-wire cables. There are several types of registers on water meters.
Each load uses on average 29.3 gallons (111 liters) of water. According to EPA, a full-sized Energy Star certified clothes washer (with "water factor" - WF ≤ 8.0 gal/cycle/ft^3) should use on average 15 gallons (57 liters) of water per load, compared to at least two times that volume used by a standard machine.

In physics, the meter water equivalent (often m.w.e. or mwe) is a standard measure of cosmic ray attenuation in underground laboratories.A laboratory at a depth of 1000 m.w.e is shielded from cosmic rays equivalently to a lab 1,000 m (3,300 ft) below the surface of a body of water.
American Water Works Association (AWWA) is an international non-profit, scientific and educational association founded to improve water quality and supply. Established in 1881, it is a lobbying organization representing a membership (as of 2024) of around 50,000 members worldwide.
The water equivalent is calculated for the following: Meter water equivalent , a standard measure of cosmic ray attenuation in underground laboratories Snow water equivalent
In 1974, the AWWA established Water as its official journal. [5] It switched to an e-journal format in 2016. [6] The AWA has hosted the annual OzWater conference since 1993. [1] It is a partner in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade's Australian Water Partnership, which supports water management initiatives in the Indo-Pacific. [7]
In 2011, the United States Environmental Protection Agency introduced the gallon gasoline equivalent as a unit of energy because their research showed most U.S. citizens do not understand the standard units. The gallon gasoline equivalent is defined as 33.7 kWh, [81] or about 1.213 × 10 8 joules.
The Illinois Section American Water Works Association (ISAWWA) is part of the national American Water Works Association. Established in 1909, the ISAWWA currently represents over 1770 public water supplies of all sizes.
