The bar graph displays a comparison of the amount of water used by Americans in their households daily with and without water conservation methods being employed.
Overall, the level of water usage was always higher, or else the same, if the water conservation methods were not in place, with toilet flushing being the major consumer of water. Meanwhile, with water conservation methods, the majority of water was spent on washing the clothes and using the faucets. Using the faucets and washing the dishes were not influenced by the presence of conservation methods, with the latter remained the lowest contributor of water consumption.
To begin with, the outcomes of having water conservation methods could be seen clearly on the decreasing level of water used for taking a shower, washing clothes in a washing machine, flushing the toilet, and leaking of water condition, peaking at just 11 gallons of water, which was 8 gallons less than the highest level of water utilized for flushing the toilet without the conservation methods.
Among all, toilet flushing and water leakage had the most significant reduction of water consumption, by 50%, accounting for 10 gallons and 5 gallons of water, respectively. There was no difference observed in the amount of water spent, even with the instalment of conservation methods, in washing the dishes, using the faucets, and other uses, with 1 gallons, 11 gallons, and 2 gallons of water used daily, respectively.
