I decided to answer this question myself, on the 12th of February.
Equipped with a 1 litre mug, and a virtually unlimited supply of water, I measured all the water I used in 24 hours. This is the distribution:
Purpose Water in litres
Brushing: 3.5
Flushing: 18.5 (1 big, 4 small)
Bathing: 30
Lunchtime: 3
Dinnertime: 3
Others: 7 (washing hands, face, feet, wearing lenses)
Total: 65
There is no exact figure as to how much water is used on an average by individuals in Urban households on a daily basis.
Now, my effort will be to reduce my water usage, to start with, by 15 litres. Once I achieve this, I shall report how I did so.
