The charts below show the percentage of water used for different purposes in six areas of the world.
The pie charts given illustrate the percentage of
water
usage
based on several
purposes
in North
America
, South
America
,
Europe
, Africa, Central
Asia
, and South East
Asia
.
Overall
, there are three main types of
purposes
across these six areas of the world. It can be observed that most
water
usage
in North
America
and
Europe
is mainly used for industrial
purposes
which accounts for roughly 50% (48% and 53% respectively).
In contrast
, the rest of the six areas largely focus on using
water
for crop cultivation as it takes 71% of
water
consumption in South
America
, 84% in Africa, 88% in Central
Asia
, and 81% in Southeast
Asia
.
Moreover
, South
America
, Africa, and Central
Asia
show the least favour in using
water
for industrial use and the proportions account for merely 10%, 7%, and 5% respectively.
Furthermore
, a similar pattern can be seen in North
America
and
Europe
where the proportions of
water
usage
for domestic use are the lowest at 13% for the former area and 15% for the latter.
In addition
, in Southeast
Asia
,
water
is prone to be used for industrial activities (12%) after agricultural activities.
To sum up
,
water
usage
for industrial
purposes
is dominant in North
America
and
Europe
,
whereas
its counterpart for agricultural use plays a main role in the rest of the mentioned areas.
