Band 9: Writing Task 1: Pie Chart & Table You should spend about 20 minutes on this task The charts below show the distribution of the world's water and the use of water in three countries.

The provided charts illustrate the distribution of water worldwide as well as its usage in three different countries.

Overall, the majority of the world’s water is salt water, with only a small fraction being fresh water. Of the fresh water available, the largest portion is found in ice and glaciers, while surface water accounts for the least amount.

In terms of water distribution, approximately 95% of the world’s water is salt water, whereas only around 5% is fresh water. Among fresh water sources, approximately 75% is stored in ice and glaciers, while groundwater constitutes about 23%. In contrast, surface water represents a mere 2%.

When it comes to water utilization, agriculture is the predominant sector in both Egypt and Saudi Arabia, responsible for 84% and 83% of water usage respectively. Domestic use in these countries is similar, accounting for 15% each, while the industrial sector consumes a smaller share, at 8% in Egypt and 10% in Saudi Arabia.

On the other hand, Canada displays a different pattern of water use, with the industrial sector leading at 80%. Agriculture and domestic use are significantly lower, standing at 9% and 10% respectively.
