Intro

Hi there, curious minds! I'm Crafty Clover! Let's discover something amazing. How much water does one person use in a day?

The Big Idea

Every day, we use lots of water! More than you might guess. How much?

At Home

Step one: At Home. In Canada, an average person uses more than two hundred liters, or over fifty gallons, at home each day. That's like filling about ten large buckets for each person.

What For

Step two: What For. We use water for drinking, cooking, washing, flushing toilets, and watering gardens. Some countries use much less water per person, and some use more.

Saving

Step three: Saving. Looking at how we use water helps us find easy ways to waste less. Shorter showers and turning off taps make a real difference.

A Closer Look

Let's take a closer look! A little. Some. A lot. A lot.

Think Like a Scientist

Now, think like a scientist! Measure how much a bucket holds. Guess how many buckets your family uses a day. Multiply by the bucket size. Compare with two hundred liters per person. Were you close?
