Answer 1

Total water required per year = 73,000 gallon

Given:

Number of showers = 4

Average showers use = 10 minutes

Flow rate = 5 gallon per minute

Find:

Total water required per year

Computation:

Total water required per year = Number of showers × Average showers use × Flow rate × 365

Total water required per year = 4 × 10 × 5 gallon × 365

Total water required per year = 73,000 gallon
