Average water use ranges from 200-300 liters a person a day in most countries in Europe to less than 10 liters in countries such as Mozambique. People lacking access to improved water in developing countries consume far less, partly because they have to carry it over long distances and water is heavy. For the 884 million people or so people in the world who live more than 1 kilometer from a water source, water use is often less than 5 liters a day of unsafe water.
