The chart below shows the percentage of water used for different purposes in six areas of the world.

The pie charts illustrate the amount of

water

utilized for industry, agriculture and domestic purposes in six different regions around the world.

Overall

, the presented data states that most countries in North America and Europe used their

water

resources mainly for industries,

while

African and Asian nations prioritized agriculture. North American and European nations displayed unique patterns in the way in which the

water

was distributed between sectors. Around half (53% Europe, 48% North America) of the available

water

in these areas was used in the industrial business, in comparison with 5 % in Central Asia which had the lowest

water

usage for

this

sector. Both regions,

however

, differed from other regions in their low percentage of

water

usage in the agricultural sector at 32 % (Europe) and 39 % (North America). The remaining four areas shared

also

some important features.

However

, when looked closely we could see that Sout East - and Central Asians and Africans, respectively used 81%, 88% and 84% of their

water

resources in farming sectors.

Whereas

southern Asia only allocated 71 % of the

water

to agriculture, but in return managed to become the region with the highest percentage of

water

usage in households at 19 %.
