How Much Water Does a Person Use?
Use depends on whether the home has flushing toilets, showers and a washing machine. See how much water a family uses per day for a breakdown, and measure your own use from a water bill if you can.
How Many Days of Storage?
Match it to how often supply fails. If county water comes twice a week, store at least three or four days. Boreholes with a pump need less storage, but a reserve helps during power cuts.
