The graph and table below give information about water use worldwide and water consumption in two different countries.

The line chart illustrates the

amount

of

water

used in three sectors in the world namely agriculture, manufacturing and home between 1900 and 2000. The table demonstrates how much

water

consumed in

Brazil

and the Democratic Republic of

Congo

in 2000.

Overall

, there was a significant increase in the

amount

of

water

used in all sectors, with the largest figure seen in agriculture throughout the period.

In addition

, Brazilians consumed

water

far higher than in

Congo

. The

amount

of

water

intended for Agriculture started at 500 km3 in 1900, before dramatically rising and reaching the peak at 3000 km3 in 2000.

Similarly

,

water

use in industrial and domestic witnessed strong growth from 200 km3 to 1500 km3 and from 100 km3 to about 300 km3 respectively.

Brazil

’s population is larger than

Congo

’s, which led to the

water

consumption can

also

be seen as a big difference. 176 million people resided in

Brazil

in 2000; meanwhile, the figure for

Congo

was 5.2 million people.

Brazil

allocated 25,500 km2 of

water

for irrigated land, compared to 100 km2 in

this

sector’s

Congo

. It can be seen as a resemble trend, the

amount

of

water

consumption per person in

Brazil

was 359 m3,

while

in

Congo

was 8 m3.
