How we work it out

Drinking: 3 litres per person per day, from the government's Be Ready checklist.
Cooking and washing: 5 litres per person per day: the minimum for basic hygiene (2 L) and basic cooking (3 L) in the Sphere humanitarian standard. Be Ready says to store more than the drinking amount but gives no figure.
Wudu: about 0.75 litres per wudu, three a day for each person who prays. The Prophet ﷺ made wudu with one mudd of water, less than a litre (Sahih al-Bukhari 201).
Food: one ready-to-eat tin and one breakfast portion per person per day, needing no cooking.
