Most water we consume is meant for farming and cattle raising: to be precise, seven out of every ten litres. Two more litres are meant for the industry and transport, and the remaining litre is meant for urban use and direct water consumption.
However, water consumption (in terms of volume and use) varies from country to country and from town to town. For instance, in Barcelona, 64% water is meant for domestic use, 29% is meant for industrial use and trade, and 7% is meant for municipal services.
As average, Barcelona citizens use 122 litres of water every day. Some of it (30%) is wasted when we flush our toilets, another 20% is used when we have a shower and another 20% is used by our washing machines. 10% is used when we wash our hands, 9% when we wash our dishes and only 5% of the total amount of water is directly consumed as drinking water or cooking water. The rest, 4% is used for cleaning and 2% for watering our plants.
