How much water do I use?

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.
