How Much Water Do We Need to Stay Alive?

Australia is one of the driest places in the world, despite recent storms. We use more water per person than just about any other country in the world. The Australian government recommends that kids drink between 1 and 2 liters a day. In most houses, drinking quality water is used to flush toilets and to water gardens. All around the world, the biggest user of water by far is on farms.
