Water Consumption, Conserve Now

Filed Under California, United States 

California Connected is featuring a flash animation on it’s website about the consumption of water in five countries: France, Norway, Senegal (city of Dakar), China and the United States.

Beyond the cool-looking water droplet (big or small, depending on the country), the figures should put your mind to work.

Apparently, the United States consumes the most: 19 cubic feet of water per day. In comparison, Dakar, Senegal only consumes 2.4 cubic feet or water per day.

I’ve gathered two thoughts from the flash animation. First, the United States consumes a lot of water compared to other countries. For some, this could further support their argument that the United States is a wasteful consumer. However, it also is encouraging to know that people can live on as little as 2.4 cubic feet of water per day.

Water is a limited resource. So as water becomes more and more limited in the United States, we’ll look to places like Senegal for water conservation techniques.

But why wait? Start trying to conserve water now.
