Water is supplied to the space station in plastic bags delivered by the Progress transporters. Inside the station water is recycled and even recovered from the air (exhaled by the astronauts) and the urine. The available amounts are checked daily and also subject to tests verifying the absence of any bacteria. Water is also categorized for the uses, drinking water has the highest quality requirements, while service water requirements are not so strict. On average, the total amount of water available is about 160 to 200 litres for the entire crew of six (for comparison: this is about the daily consumption of an average US household).
