The graph and table below give information about water use worldwide and water consumption in two different countries. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

The presented graph and table provide data on

water

usage

globally between 1900 and 2000,

as well as

a comparison between

Brazil

and

Congo

in 2000. As an

overall

trend, three sectors used

water

increasingly over the century,

while

the table sustains

this

argument with the provided data on those two countries. First and foremost, in 1900 the agriculture sector used about one-half of 1000

square

km

of

water

, increasing steadily until 1940 to approximately 900

square

km

.

Then

, it soared to just about 3000

square

km

of

water

usage

in 2000. Industrial and domestic sector

usage

was near 0 in 1900,

then

followed the same mildly upward trend until 1950. After that, they began to considerably rise to just above 1000

square

km

of

water

in the industrial sector and more or less 200 for the domestic one in 2000.

Secondly

, in the given table

Brazil

had 176 million generated by

water

consumption in 2000,

while

the Democratic Republic of

Congo

only 5.2 million. In

Brazil

, an area of 26.500

km

was covered, in comparison with

Congo

with 100

km

.

Moreover

,

water

was used in 359

square

meters and in

Congo

just 8. Over the century, the consumption of

water

increased gradually until 1950,

then

rocketed from that on to 2000.

Also

, we can see that

Brazil

covered a much more area for the

usage

of

water

,

while

the Democratic Republic of

Congo

was way behind.
