3.3 billion divided by 20.0 million = 165 years
That's assuming the aquifer has zero rainfall to replenish it. Hydrogeology is extremely complex with many variables and it is difficult/impossible to estimate total aquifer recharge. For the Edwards Aquifer in Central Texas, it's estimated at 700,000 acre-feet per year, pre-drought that is. So if you're pumping 20.0 million out and the recharge is less than 1.0 million, you're at a negative 19.0 million per year. Pretty upside down if you ask me.
One source claims 1 acre-foot of water equals 325,851 gallons of water and serves 4 people (one family in theory) for one year. That's 80,000 gallons per person per year. Seems extremely high...
Another source (HUD) says the average family of three uses about 100,000 gallons of water per year - based on 45k gallons inside and 55k gallons outside - assuming a St. Augustine lawn. This calcs out to about 33,333 gallons per person per year. Seems more reasonable...
Based on this, 20.0 million acre-feet per year, or 6.5 trillion gallons per year, serves the needs of 195.0 million people for one year. More or less two thirds of the population of the United States.
Note that this only looks at household (inside and out) water use and not industrial water use, Golf courses, power plants, fountains, public Swimming Pools, city grounds and gardens, and on and on....
Hope this helps...

20 million plus 14.5 billion is equal to (0.02 + 14.5) billion = 14.52 billion = 14520000000
4 Billion yeas old. 1000 Million = 1 Billion.
These are the *average* distances (for Mercury and Pluto, the variation in distance is substantial. Pluto's perihelion is closer than Neptune's aphelion.)Mercury is 57.9 million km (36 million miles) from the Sun (0.38 AU)Venus is 108.2 million km (67.2 million miles) from the Sun (0.72 AU )Earth is 149.6 million km (93 million miles) from the Sun (1 AU)Mars is 227.9 million km (141.6 million miles) from the Sun (1.52 AU)Jupiter is 778.4 million km (483.6 million miles) from the Sun (5.2 AU)Saturn is 1.4 billion km (870 million miles) from the Sun (9.5 AU)Uranus is 2.87 billion km (1.78 billion miles) from the Sun (19.2 AU)Neptune is 4.5 billion km (2.8 billion miles) from the Sun (30 AU)3 of the 5 Dwarf PlanetsPluto is 5.9 billion km (3.6 billion miles) from the Sun (40 AU)Ceres is 414 million km (257 million miles) from the Sun (2.77 AU)Eris is 10.1 billion km (6.2 billion miles) from the Sun (67.67 AU)
3 billion inches is 250 million feet.
Seven Billion
A billion is a thousand million.
165 million = 16500 million % = 16.5 billion %165 million = 16500 million % = 16.5 billion %165 million = 16500 million % = 16.5 billion %165 million = 16500 million % = 16.5 billion %
Billion and Million relation is as follows: 1 Billion = 1000 Million It means 1 Million = 1/1000 Billion
a billion is actually 1,000 million 1,000,000 = 1 million 1,000,000,000 = 1 billion A billion is much larger than a million
multiply billion by 1000 to get million for example 10 billion = 10000 million
A million billion is called a quadrillion.
1 billion = 1,000 million 2 billion = 2,000 million . . 7 billion = 7,000 million
How_much_million_make_a_billionA thousand million is a billion in most cultures. In some (older) cultures, it takes a million million to make a billion.
1 billion = 1000 million so 0.1 billion = 100 million
1 billion = 1,000 million 1/2 billion = 500 million
560 billion is 560,000 million each billion equals 1,000 million
There are 1,400 million in 1.4 billion, since 1,000 million is equal to a billion.
