The pie chart illustrates the proportion of water consumption among different sectors, while the bar graph shows the percentage of water used for residential tasks in Australia in the year 2004.
Overall, it is evident that residential consumers accounted for the largest proportion of water usage, particularly for gardening. In contrast, the smallest percentage of water was dedicated to the “other” category.
With regard to the pie graph, the figure for residential consumers was seven times as much as that of business consumers, at 70% and 10%, respectively. The percentage of water consumption for industrial activities was the second highest at 11%. Moreover, about 9% of water was used for government and other sectors.
According to the bar graph, more than half of water was used for gardening and bathroom activities, with 28% and 27%, respectively, while the figure for water consumption in the kitchen was the lowest, at 10%. The proportions of residential water consumed for washing clothes and toilet use stood at 20% and 15%, respectively.
