It depends on how big the leak is, but if it is a dripping leak, one drip at a time is lost, then between 1 to 10 mL can be lost depending on how fast the dripping is, in a minute, and after about 10 minutes, a whole graduated cylinder can be filled, and even a water bottle. If the leak drips very fast, then a lot of water bottles can be lost within a couple of hours, and if left unchecked for a while, buckets and buckets can be filled from a whole month of a leaky faucet.
Not enough information. Put a cup under the drip, measure it for a time and multiply.
Depends how leaky it is, but if you are on a well, any leak is critical.
dripping faucet wastes 3 cups of water in 24 hr. How much water is wasted in 56 hours?
There are hundreds of gallons of water wasted every minute. Water is wasted by leaving the faucet running, taking long showers, and flushing toilets when unnecessary.
quite impossible to know without extra information- how fast it is dripping, how big the tap is, etc...BUT.. per day, a leaking faucet can waste up to 20 gallons.have a nice day. =)
It all depends what faucet is running if it is a kitchen or lavatory faucet it would be roughly 3 gallons if it was a tub and shower faucet it would roughly 15 gallons

To know for certain, you'd need to measure your water flow from your faucet at the rate it was turned on, but if its a newer faucet, then if you have pretty good water pressure (60 psi), the faucet will only flow at 2.2 gallons per minute. Thus if you had the faucet fully open for seven hours you may have wasted as much as 92 gallons.
It nearly 10 liters of water is wasted
around 50% of water supplied to Nagpur city is wasted.
