Exercise 23

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.
In 2005, how did the Florida average water footprint (consumption per person per year, in this case, based only on water used within the state) compare with (a) the average U.S. water footprint of approximately 249,000 liters (66,000 gallons) per person per year, and (b) with the global average water footprint of 123,770 liters (32,800 gallons) per person per year?
