World water use: Percentage-wise
The
pie graph presents data on world water usage in 2000 and the bar chart breaks
up the same data in four countries: China, India, New Zealand and Canada, for the
same period.
As
per the pie graph, 70% of the total water is used for agricultural purposes
whereas only 22% is exploited for industrial purposes. A very small percentage,
eight, was for domestic purposes.
The
bar chart shows that China
used 69 percent of its total water for agricultural purposes followed by industries,
taking 22%, and only 9% was utilized for domestic purposes whereas India used 92%
of its total water for agriculture. Only five percent is used for domestic purpose
and the remaining 3% was spared for industries.
Coming
to a developed country like New
Zealand, almost equal percentage of water is
used for both agricultural and domestic purpose, 44 and 46, and the remaining
10% is left for industry. In Canada
agriculture took only 8% of its total water, followed by domestic use taking
12%, and remaining 80% was used for industries.
Developing
nations used much more water for agricultural purposes than what developed
nations used for industrial and domestic purposes.
