Household guide to water efficiency .: NH15-362/2014E-PDF
"Canada is second only to the United States for individual water use. The average Canadian uses four times the amount used by the average Swede and eight times as much as the average Dane. The real concern is that about half of our water use can be unnecessary and wasteful. Running taps, leaking faucets, and excessive lawn watering contribute to our very high consumption rates. What does all this mean? It means we have plenty of opportunities to reduce our water use, lower our water bills, make better use of our water treatment and waste water infrastructure, and protect our water fresh water supplies"--How we use water, p.8.
