The first pie chart shows the percentage of water used for six products in 2004. The second chart illustrates the percentage of total income from products in 2004

The pie charts show the proportion of

water

used to produce various

products

and the revenue these

products

generated in 2004.

Overall

,

whereas

vegetables and

then

fruits were the biggest consumers of

water

, other crops put together used just around a quarter of

water

. It is

also

clear that fruits brought in the most

income

, followed by vegetables, with the remaining

products

producing less than 20% of total

income

. Examining the

products

which required a lot of

water

, the preponderance of

water

was used to grow vegetables at 46%, though

this

crop only accounted for 31% of total

income

.

By contrast

, fruits were the most profitable product generating 40% of the revenue,

while

consuming much less

water

(28%). The third biggest consumer of

water

was cereal, using 12% of

water

and producing the same percentage of

income

. The other

products

exhibited much smaller figures for

water

usage and financial returns. Lime production consumed 8% of

water

, contributing a similar proportion of

income

. The remaining two crops – rice and dandelion – required a similar percentage of

water

(3%), but they yielded vastly different amounts of earnings: the former merely 1% and the latter 8%.
