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.Submitted by Phạm Hải Anh on
