The American Water Works Association estimates that 18% of the water that utilities process is lost each day. Assuming that the loss was from public supply withdrawal in 2020 (population 331,449,281, public supply withdrawal 1.93x108 m3/d), estimate the total value of the lost water if delivered water costs $0.47 per cubic meter.
