Average AMERICAN: showers, flushes, brushing teeth, cleaning clothes, washing dishes & cars. A true average includes people who water lawns AND water wastage.

National Geographic magazine says

"AMERICANS USE ABOUT 100 GALLONS OF WATER AT HOME EACH DAY"

It also says:

"MILLIONS OF THE WORLDS POOREST SUBSIST ON FEWER THAN FIVE GALLONS"

--

One person uses about 15-42 gallons of water everyday it just depends how long the person takes in the shower etc.
