POTABLE WATER

THE ENERGY REQUIRED TO MAKE IT AVAILABLE

The US average energy consumption for potable water production was 2900 kWh per million gallons

Water Source & Conveyance

1,100 kWh per million gallons

Treatment

1,100 kWh per million gallons

Distribution

700 kWh per million gallons

Total: 2,900 kWh per million gallons

Energy Comparison

100 gallons of potable water—the amount used daily by the average person at home in Egypt—takes about 1.1 kWh of energy to treat and distribute, according to study by researchers at the University of South Florida.

That's a lot more energy than an efficient refrigerator uses in a day.
