The graph and table below gives information about water use worldwide and water consumption in two different countries,
The line graph illustrates global
water
used by three sectors (agriculture, industrial use, and domestic use) from 1900 - 2000, while
the table shows water
consumption in Brazil
and Congo in 2000.
Overall
, it can be noted that the amount of global water
use by all sectors increased over the given period. Furthermore
, agriculture had the highest water
consumption over the given 100 years. It is also
clear that water
consumption per person in 2000 was higher in Brazil
compared to Congo.
Regarding the line graph, agriculture relied on water
the most in the given time, which kept increasing from 500 km3 in the first year to 2000 km3 in the final year. Similarly
, the amount of water
used by Industrial rose slowly from approximately 100 km3 in 1900 to 900 km3 in 2000. Likewise
, there was a slight increase in the usage of water
domestically from 50 km3 at the beginning of the period to 300 km3 at the end
.
By looking at the table, the population of Brazil
was 176 million, and each person consumed 359 m3 of water
, while
the irrigated land was 26500 Km2. On the other hand
, Congo had less population than Brazil
, which was 52 million, while
the irrigated land was 100km2. Moreover
, each person consumed 8 m3 of water
