The graph and table below give information  about  water use worldwide  and water consumption in two different countries.
The line graph illustrates how
water
was used by different categories around the world from 1900 to 2000 and the table presents the percentage of that consumed in 2 nations in the year 2000.
It is clear that
there was an upward tendency in global
water
use by not only agriculture but
also
industrial and domestic utilization.
Besides
, a higher quantity of population
together with
wider irrigated land in Brazil resulted in a bigger consumption of
water
per person, compared to those in the Democratic Republic of Congo. As can be seen, the amount of
water
used by agriculture was recorded to be at the top of the list with 500 km3 in 1900, after that, it kept rising and reached a peak of 3000 km3 in 2000. Meanwhile, the figure for that by both industries and households stood at nearly 0 km3, yet
then
over one century, it climbed to over 1000 km3 and 500 km3 respectively.
Moreover
, in 2000, Brazil had a larger watered area with 26500 km2, followed by only 100 km2 of that in the Republic of Congo.
Additionally
, there were 176 million citizens living in Brazil, in comparison with only 5.2 million in the Republic of Congo.
Consequently
, the sum of
water
consumption by each individual in the former country was higher, at 359 m3,
whereas
the total of that in the latter country took up just 8 m3.
