How much water does the average person in Switzerland use per day?

According to the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN), the average water use per person in Switzerland is 3,083 liters (820 gallons) per day, or 163 cubic meters (43,000 gallons) per year. This is significantly higher than the global average of 2,940 liters (780 gallons) per day.

The FOEN states that the main reasons for the high water consumption in Switzerland are:

* The high standard of living: Swiss citizens enjoy a high standard of living, which includes having access to a large amount of water for personal use.

* The large number of tourists: Switzerland is a popular tourist destination, and tourists typically use more water than locals.

* The country's geography: Switzerland is a mountainous country, which means that there is a lot of water available for use.

The FOEN is working to reduce water consumption in Switzerland through a variety of measures, including public awareness campaigns, water conservation programs, and incentives for businesses to use water more efficiently.
