The pie charts compare the proportion of water consumption for industry,
agriculture, and domestic purpose in six separate regions of the world.
Overall, it is clear that water used for agriculture accounts for the largest
proportion, except for North America and Europe, mainly providing for
industrial use.
With regard to agricultural use, Central Asia is the area that uses the greatest
level of water, at exactly 88%, followed by the figure for Africa and South
East Asia, at 84% and 81% respectively. South America needs a smaller rate,
with 71%, compared to one-third of the total consumption in Europe.
In contrast, Europe area primarily uses water for industry, making up the
highest percentage among the remaining regions, over a half of the total.
Likewise, 48% of water is prioritized this purpose in North America,
contrasting to 10% of that in South America. A noticeable pattern is that all
six areas use an inconsiderable percentage of water for domestic purpose,
apart from South America, with 19%, being the most significant consumption
level.

The world we live in today is experiencing a high rate of increase in population. This factor has given birth to the idea of family planning, where coulples tend to downsize the number of children they intend giving birth to so they can give them quality life. However, there are also demerits of having smaller families than larger families.
The need for having a more conserved number of family members gives opportunity for every member of the family to live better than members of a crowded family. My point is that the fewer people are in a family, the more distribution of family resources for example . A couple with two children can easily send their wards to a more expensive and better school compared to parents of five children. Similarly, the smaller family will spend less on feeding and have extra for savings. Additionally, children from smaller homes tend to be more reserved in nature and better behaved as their parents would have more time to give them one on one training.
On the other hand, there is a plus for most African families who are characterized with a large number of members because they have strength. A large family give chance for division of labour when it comes to work. For example, a farmer with many children has less to worry about over manpower compared to another family with less members who may have to hire labour. Furthermore, larger families have an advantage of members not experiencing loneliness unlike the smaller families.
In conclusion, although smaller families have some reasonable high points over the larger families, we still cannot shelve aside the low points like loneliness of children from such families which often lead to withdrawal or Loss of confidence.
