It takes 1,000 litres to grow a kilo of wheat, and 500 litres for a kilo of potatoes.And when
you start feeding grain to animals to make meat and milk and cheese, the numbers become
even more startling. On average, each person drinks not much more than 5 litres of the stuff
daily. You could fill roughly 25 bathtubs with the water needed to grow the cotton tomakeit.In
all, an average citizen of the United States consumes 2,483 cubic metres a year – about
three times as much as a Kenyan or a Chinese. While most of the poor have too little water
to meet their needs, the relatively well-off consume enormous amounts. That is more water
than many families use in a week. INEQUALITY comes in litres. Indeed, few realize quite
how much water someone living a Western urban lifestyle – whether in Europe or North
America, or among the middle classes in developing countries – actually uses.It’s not the
obvious uses that really add up. Growing cotton for clothes is no better. Even after washing
and flushing the lavatory, it increases to only around 150 litres each. On the Internet you can
buy jokey T-shirts with slogans like ‘Save water, bath with a friend’. But that is just the start.
It’s a good message, but please don’t buy the T-shirt.
