NOTE: Your results are an estimate of your water footprint and are calculated from national averages of water use associated with such fixtures and devices as shower heads, dishwashers, washing machines, etc. We have accounted for some of the major water-using activities in which you might engage.

However, your results will vary based on the number of people in your household, the flow rates of water fixtures in your house, your diet, energy use and, to some extent, your routines, purchases and behaviors. Depending on these factors mentioned above, your results may differ greatly from a baseline result.
