Water - An unnoticed WASTAGE!

I was watching the most expensive nature documentary series Planet Earth by BBC. I was touched by the way animals were travelling through the deserts and forest to find the basic food and water. 

Here we are sitting in our luxurious houses and wasting water in gallons and liters just to wash our hands. 

I noticed a particular wastage of water that was happening. I think many of you must have noticed that the Air Conditioning in your houses or any other places leaks water. You know where this water goes? THE DRAINS!

You know how much water is water in a day? 
5 Gallons = 18.9271 liters = 19 liters (approx.)
In Summer this water drainage reaches up to 20 Gallons = 75.7082 liters

We have a total world population of 7 billion. Assuming that only 10% of them have Air Conditioning, which amount to 700 million people. 

700 million people using AC for a day (including house, corporate places  and others) which gives 700 million X 19 liters = 
15300 million liters of water Wasted Every day 

You can calculate the amount of water being waster per month or per year!
Think of some alternative friends.
