Exercise 13

In 2005 (the latest year for which these data were available), the population of the U.S. state of Florida consumed 24.5 billion liters (6.5 billion gallons) of freshwater daily. It is projected that in 2025, the daily consumption will increase tO₃2.1 billion liters (8.5 billion gallons) per day. Between 2005 and 2025, the population of Florida was projected to increase from 17.5 million tO₂5.9 million.
Based on total freshwater use:
a. Calculate the per capita consumption of water per day in Florida in 2005 and the projected per capita consumption per day for 2025.
b. Calculate the per capita consumption of water for the year in Florida in 2005 and the projected per capita consumption per year for 2025.
