In 2000, we ranked 3rd of daily urban water use in the OECD - not something we want to rank highly in really. Denmark manages an average os only 120L per person.

According to estimaes from teh Australian Bureau of STatistics (ABS), AUstralian domestic water usage is n average of 272 litres per day (about 103,000 litres per year) in 2004/05. That’s a LOT of water.

Per state use varies a bit:

Victoria - 222L
WA - 493L
NT - 419L
Tasmania - 392L
Qld - 340L
ACT - 260L
SA - 258L
NSW - 230L

Picture the 10 litre bucket in your laundry - now imagine 22 of them full of water. Does it shock you that you may use more water than that every day?
