The graph and table below give information about water use worldwide and water consumption in two different countries. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The line graph illustrates the amount of utilizing

water

in the world divided into three sectors between 1900 and 2000,

while

the table provides information about the intensity of

water

consumption

in

Brazil

and Congo in 2000.

Overall

, worldwide

water

use

experienced an upward trend, where the agricultural sector required the highest proportion of

water

during the period.

Brazil

consumed

water

more than Congo

due to

its high population and

water

consumption

per person, and large irrigated land. Stood at about 500 km3 in the beginning, the amount of global

water

used by agriculture increased moderately in the next forty years, reaching almost 1000 km3, before it had a significant growth until the end of the period, peaking at 3000 km3.

However

, the proportion of

water

in industrial

use

and domestic

use

remained stable at about under 200 km3 in the first half of the period.

Then

, the need for

water

in the industrial sector rose by almost 1000 km3

while

that of household

use

doubled in 2000. Regarding

water

consumption

,

Brazil

had 176 million inhabitants with 359 m3 of

water

consumption

per person and required 26,500 km2 for agricultural land.

In contrast
