Water Usage by Land Use

I am trying to dig up some information about averages of water usage based on different land uses. Does anyone have any information along these lines that they could share?

Like how much water is used to keep up landscaping and internal activities (household/commercial) based on land use? Seems like we would need a lot of regional information.
