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.Submitted by musiccofrancesca250100 on
