The H₂O Conserve Water Footprint Calculator is an interactive tool designed to help you quantify how much water you use, how you use it and how you can conserve.

The Calculator estimates the total amount of water you use, or your water footprint, using information you provide about your water use and habits. The Calculator takes into account not only the water used in your home, but also the water used to produce the food you eat, the products you buy, the energy you consume, and even the water saved when you recycle. You may not drink, feel or see this virtual water, but it makes up the majority of your water footprint.

Based on your water use information, the Water Footprint Calculator:
• Provides a general assessment of your direct water and virtual water use, as well as a comparison to the national average of the combined direct and virtual water use of U.S. residents as developed by H₂O Conserve.
• Shows your total household water use, as well as the average use per person in your household.

NOTE: The Calculator uses data from the U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Energy Information Administration, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and several other sources to calculate an individual?s water footprints. Results are based on national averages and approximations, and your results should be considered an estimate.
