According to the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), the average water requirement of a Delhi citizen is 160 litres per capita daily (lpcd).
Delhi, as a city, ranks highest in per capita availability of water -- about 280-300 lpcd. But the distribution of this water is extremely inequitable.
On an average, each room in a five-star hotel consumes 1600 litres of water every day.
Konfusd and Ramses got it right.
Delhi, as a city, ranks highest in per capita availability of water -- about 280-300 lpcd.
The Planning Commission has estimated the average requirement for different income groups130 lpcd for lower-income groups, 150 lpcd for middle-income groups, and 200 lpcd for higher-income groups. The average comes to 160 lpcd.
The prime minister’s house at 1 Race Course Road accounts for around 73,300 litres of water per day,
and the presidential residence, Rashtrapati Bhavan, consumes about 67,000 litres per day. Similarly, ministers’ residences consume 30,000-45,000 litres per day.VIP residences consume over 30,000 litres per day.
But 78% of Delhi’s citizens, who live in sub-standard settlements, struggle to collect or buy 30-90 litres per capita per day

More Do U Knows

Reach for the Remote
I reach for the remote when I see on TV
1.Uma Bharati.
Now she is in, now she is out. Its pointless for me to keep score.
2.Mahesh Bhatt on some panel
I know what he is going to say.
3.A star talking about the "difference" in the latest movie
Oh yeah, so instead of songs in New Zealand its Greece
4.Soaps
I can watch after 2 years and still will know the story, why waste time watching it now.
5.Ads
Raymond and few others are fun. The rest are either stupid, sleazy or shrill.
6.Cookery Shows
Some recipes should come with the warning : This is being done by professionals, dont try this at home.
And since I never know which ones are supposed to have the warning, avoid them.
7.Countdown Shows
I used to watch them loooong ago, but then now think its pointless, and why get worked up over your favourite being at number two, when two years from now, you wouldnt remember it.
8.Party coverage
Not political party, the social kind. Huh invariably all are going to say "I am having a great time". And my idea of great time is not watching someone say "Having a great time" 50 times a week.
9.Weird "Godmen" news
A new one every month.
10.Stammering VJs or Stuttering and Smug News Anchors or Shrill Reporters
I just cant stand it. I can atleast understand VJs who just stand around talking stupid stuff and trying to act cool and cute, but why do TV Anchors go.. huh, wittth etc. And its so irritating when they put on a smug face when talking about others. OK the reporters have, distracting sounds, but even when they dont have to, they tend to be shrill (even NDTV) and I want to say, calm down, calm down to them.
11.WWF
Oh plz
12.Teleshopping
No thank you I dont want to become taller, lose weight painlessly and quickly, whiten my tooth or solve all my problems through a machine.
The result, I end up watching the weather reports.
So when do you reach for the remote?

What Is Your Animal Personality?
brought to you by Quizilla
- Reserved : Well yeah right
- overly-critical : Aargh, thats true
- sometimes a bit on the cranky side : Absolutely
- you know where your place is : Yeah, but it doesnt help when you are a Leo and tend to think the world revolves around you.
- dont bother impressing people : Simply because being true to yourself and being sincere scores :)
- you have few friends : Very true
- but lot or respect from others as well : Dont know, but better be true:D
- people see you as mysterious : No disagree
- because you dont enjoy opening up to others : I dont open up to others, because others wont enjoy it, and I care for humanity..
But still not bad test I guess
Asked hubby to take the test, he is a bear:)
Asked him to guess which one I would be, and he got it right immediately.
Seems the reserved and cranky, were big clues along with mysterious(!).
The Options are : Badger, Horse, Wolf, Bear, Coguar(Puma), Otter, Crow
