supplies are used for agricultural purposes, except in Europe and North America, where the major proportion is linked with industrial use. Domestic utilization has the lowest percentages in all those areas.
Central Asia takes the first place in agricultural usage of water
with 88%, strictly followed by Africa and South East Asia with 84% and 81%, respectively. This
, however
, is not the case in North Africa and Europe, where these percentages are 39% and 32%, respectively. Nevertheless
, in those areas the water
is used mainly for Industrial aims with 53% of the supply in Europe and 48% in North America.
Although
the proportions of domestic utilization are smaller than those of the other two categories in all these regions, they are highest in South Africa with 19% and lowest in Central and South East Asia with only 7%.Submitted by delulcheva on
