Wells drilled by a nonprofit called Water for South Sudan use a pump that can provide up to 5,500 gallons of water per day. Use this total amount to calculate the following:
How many gallons per day per person could the well produce for a village with a population of 850 if every gallon went to domestic use?
How does your number to Question 1 compare to to the 0.5 gallons of water per day accessible in some areas of the world?
How does your answer to Question 1 compare to the 80 - 100 gallons of water used per day by the average American?
If you only had the amount of water you calculated in Question 1 to use each day, how would you prioritize using it?
