5.2       Water use by households

Water supplied to households is mainly used for drinking, cooking and hygiene, including basic needs for personal and domestic cleanliness, and amenity uses such as car washing and lawn watering (Howard et al., 2003). The global target set by the UN Sustainable Development Goal No. 6.2 asks countries to “achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations” by 2030.
