So we took the kids camping this weekend. Guess what....I tracked our water usage. I didn't hold back the water at all...I just kept track. Boy! Was I surpised!
We always camp with no electricity, no water. So we took a 1.5 litter refillable water bag to fill for miscellaneous stuff, i.e.: dishes, washing hands, filling water balloons, yada yada....We refilled this 5 times. Almost 2 gallons for the american folk.
We also took a 8 Litre bottle of spring water for drinking and cooking with. A full 2 gallons of water. We did bring some of this home with us, maybe a litre.
I was actually surprised by how much we used, though I have to admit I did nothing to tone this down. We also drank other things, juice, beer, coke....
They recommend that you must have 4 litres a day to survive. So, yeah, they are almost bang on. Next trip I intend on tailoring our needs to meet this exactly...that will be a challenge!
