Exercise 10

In 2005 (latest available data), 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 to 32.1 billion liters (8.5 billion gallons) per day. Between 2005 and 2025, the population of Florida is projected to increase from 17.5 million to 25.9 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.
