The book Blueprint For Paradise by Russ Norgrove
is (despite the title) an exceedingly realistic book about
living on small islands. Norgrove suggests a water ration of
100-200 L/p/day (35K-70K L/p/yr) [Norgrove1983,
p. 103-104], which we think is much too high. According
to Neumeyer [Neumeyer1982],
avg. household water use in the United States is 190 L/p/day
(69K L/p/yr). A more recent source suggests use of 280
L/p/day (102K L/p/yr) in a typical single family home with
no water-conserving fixtures [Water1999].
