Who is out here flushing a toilet 10 times per day? Like okay if you have IBS or something but the vast majority of people aren't doing more than three.
If it says average person uses 72 gallons rather than an average of 72 gallons, I'd imagine it's shorthand to indicate they're using a median, which is relatively robust to outliers.
maybe it includes food and supply chains? but it's pretty valueless if you're having a water shortage now and you account the food that was grown months ago somewhere else.
shut down the almond farmers and cattle ranchers of course but that's not home-use.
That has to be skewed way up by people with McMansions watering grass, right? No way does the average person need that much water daily.
10 flushes a day at 2gpf is 20
Average shower is around 20
Washing dishes by hand can use up to 20 gallons. Dish washers use around 4 or less
This doesn't include food prep, washing clothes, drinking water, cleaning the house etc etc etc.

Average time people go pee is 7 times. Average dump is 1-3.
Most people do not let yellow mellow.
If you are peeing once it twice a day you are probably very dehydrated
The average household has about 5 flushes a day. That's further broken down to 1.5 "brown" flushes and 3.5 "yellow" flushes.
Maybe the difference can be explained by people peeing at work.
House hold doesn't matter. This is average person. Most people are out of their house for hours a day almost most of the day light hours.
If you Google how much does the average person pee a day it says 6-7. I know i piss like 10-15 times a day at least once an hour while up.
I usually piss in the sink or outside.
Most do not and if you piss in the sink enough it'll probably start to stink if not changed well.
And yes. I pee on my plants all the time
I rinse the sink with a little water and it's fine. Been doing it for years.
?? 3 flushes a day? You only pee 3 times a day?
