    the average Angeleno uses 72 gallons per day

    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.

        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.
