Water use is a term to refer to the use that is given to this natural resource in human societies. In recent years this has been an important subject of study because it is a non-renewable resource, alternatives are being sought to promote its reuse, limit its waste and protect the sources in which it is produced.

Recent studies affirm that an inhabitant of a developed country consumes about 300 liters per day, while a person from a developing or underdeveloped country consumes about 25 liters per day. This means people in underdeveloped countries consumes less water.
