97.5% of that water is salt water. We only have 2.5% of freshwater to drink.

To feed about 9 billion people that are expected in 2050 we will have to make a huge increase in agriculture water consumption. Because it takes around 2,000 liters of water to make 150 grams of beef and 40 liters to make a
slice of bread.

gallons of water per month.
One way we can help save water is by using more efficient toilets and shower heads.

The efficiency of household water consumption changes with all the different ages of homes. Older buildings usually have lower efficiency because new technology is so much different than it used to be.
