The graph and table below give information about water use worldwide and water consumption in two different countries

The line graph illustrates the global

water

use

by three sectors from 1900 to 2000, and the table reveals

water

consumption in Brazil and Congo in 2000.

Overall

, using

water

in all sectors experienced an upward trend with the

agriculture

sector

being the highest,

whereas

Brazil was the country which had higher

water

consumption both land irrigation and per person than Congo. Based on the chart, the

Agriculture

sector

started using

water

at 500 km³ in 1900,

while

Industrial

use

and Domestic

Use

had the same number of uses at almost 100 km³. In the following sixty years, Industrial

use

increased slightly at about 300km³,

whereas

Domestic

Use

remained stable.

However

, the same trend in the Industrial

sector

which was shown by

Agriculture

almost doubled.

At the end

of the period, the

sector

of

Agriculture

stood at the peak at 3000 km³,

while

the Industrial and Domestic area accounted for almost 1000km³ and 500 km³ respectively. Regarding the table, Brazil had higher

water

consumption per person than the Democratic Republic of Congo by 351 m³.
