Minimum Amount
The consensus amount is 20 liters (5 gallons) of safe drinking water per person per day. This amount is the minimum felt necessary but does not meet the criteria of being sufficient.
Over 850 million people around the world, mostly in 27 developing countries, do not get even this much safe water. Their average is about 5 liters per person per day.
