The chart below shows the percentage of water used for different purposes in six areas of the world.
These six pie charts depict the proportion of aqua used for industrial, agricultural and domestic reasons on five continents, whereby
Asia
is further
segregated into central and southern regions.
Immediately, it is recognizable that overall
, the greatest demand for water
was for agronomic applications, whereas
the lowest need was in the domestic sector.
Observing the pies in more detail, as can be witnessed clearly from the information provided in the illustration, that Africa as well as
central and Southeast Asia
used water
mostly for farming at over 80 % of the total. In addition
, the use of water
for industry and households was similar between Africa and Central Asia
, however
, South East Asia
utilised distinctly more aqua for manufacturing applications at 12%. Conversely
, the request for water
in North America and Europe was approximately for industrial utilisation at around half of the total. Both continents were alike in their agricultural and domestic consumption with about one-third for the former, and 15 % for the latter. South America, on the other hand
, was slightly unique when compared to the other five regions, about three-quarters of water
was used for farming and nearly a fifth for domestic.
In Summary, it is evident that the primary use of water
was globally for cultivation, followed by industry and least of all for the household; as well the demand for water
in each of these sectors varies significantly.Submitted by anislom26 on
