Best to know how much water they do drink, so you can monitor how much they are getting via the nipples.
Between evaporation and spillage the perceived amount of use between an open water source and a nipple can be huge, you really can't compare usage between the two on a 1:1 scale...
When I was using open source watering bowls I was going through about 10 gallons a day, it' harder for me to measure daily consumption now but on average my 55 gallon drum nipple waterer will last 10+ days, so about 5 gallons a day...
Based on that, off the top of my head I would say my perceived water use is down about 50% since using nipples over open containers...
