The average person uses 100 gallons of water a day:

The following are examples of how people use water found on the USGS government website:
http://water.usgs.gov/edu/qa-home-percapita.html

Bath A full tub is about 36 gallons.
Shower 2-2.5 gallons per minute. Old shower heads use as much as 4 gallons per minute.
Teeth brushing <1 gallon, especially if water is turned off while brushing. Newer bath faucets use about 1 gallon per minute, whereas older models use over 2 gallons.
Hands/face washing 1 gallon
Face/leg shaving 1 gallon
Dishwasher 20 gallons/load, depending of efficiency of dishwasher
Dishwashing by hand: 4 gallons/minute for old faucets.. Newer kitchen faucets use about 1-2 gallons per minutes.
Clothes washer 25 gallons/load for newer washers. Older models use about 40 gallons per load.
Toilet flush 3 gallons for older models. Most all new toilets use 1.2-1.6 gallons per flush.
Glasses of water drunk 8 oz. per glass (did you remember to drink your 8 glasses of water today?)
Outdoor watering 2 gallons per minute

There are 30 MILLION + illegal aliens in the US

so.... 30,000,000 X 100 gallons = 3 billion gallons of fresh water consumed per DAY by illegal aliens (at a minimum)

365 days in a year X 3 billion = 1.095 TRILLION gallons of water a year.

Those figures for newer shower flow rates are totally bogus.

What idiot in their right mind can’t figure out that you need to be wet and rinsed off no matter the flow rate?

Reduced flows mean that it simply takes longer to get wet and rinse off.

The five minute shower becomes a ten minute shower.

Simply brilliant.

So, all the illegals in America use a little less water than California's almond farmers.
