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 AND THE TABLE BELOW SHOW THE TREND OF GLOBAL

WATER

CONSUMPTION IN THREE DIFFERENT SECTORS AND

WATER

USE

IN

BRAZIL

AND IN CONGO.

OVERALL

,

WATER

USE

WORLDWIDE HAS INCREASED IN EACH SECTOR OVER THE YEARS.

FIRSTLY

, AGRICULTURE SECTOR HAS THE HIGHEST utilization OF

WATER

, AND

IN PARTICULAR

, IT SHOWS SIGNIFICANT GROWTH OVER THE CENTURY, REACHING ITS PEAK AT 3,000

KM

.

BY CONTRAST

, INDUSTRIAL AND DOMESTIC

USE

IS LESS RELEVANT: BOTH OF THE TWO SECTORS REMAINED STABLE AT 100

KM

UNTIL 1950. IN THE FOLLOWING YEARS, THE GREEN LINE ROSE STEADILY TO 400

KM

,

INSTEAD

, THE RED LINE GREW SHARPLY TO 1000

KM

, DOUBLING THE DOMESTIC

USE

OF

WATER

.

SECONDLY

, THE TABLE ILLUSTRATES THE CONSUMPTION OF

WATER

IN TWO DIFFERENT AREAS, BY CONTRASTING THE IRRIGATED LAND WHICH IS 26,500

KM

IN

BRAZIL

AND ONLY 100

KM

2 IN CONGO. THESE NUMBERS SHOW A RELEVANT

USE

OF

WATER

IN THE AGRICULTURE SECTOR IN

BRAZIL

AND

THIS

VALUE IS RELATED TO THE SIGNIFICANT POPULATION OF ABOUT 176 MILLION. IN FACT, IN

BRAZIL

THE

WATER

CONSUMPTION IS 359 M

WHEREAS

IN CONGO IS 8 M RELATED TO THE UNRELEVANT POPULATION.
