The two pie charts compare the amount of water used for six products in Australia in 2004, with the turnover of these products in that country in the same year.
Overall, the figure for water used is higher than that for total income generated from vegetables and rice, while fruits and cereal required less water compared to the income they produced. Furthermore, the amount of water used for livestock and dairy production was equal to the revenue generated. Especially, vegetables were the main product that used the most water and had the highest turnover.
As can be seen, the production of vegetables that required water in Australia was 46%, which was 13% higher than the figure for total income (33%). In contrast, there was 28% of the water used for fruits, while the revenue generated from this product was one and a half times greater than the water used (42%).
With the amount of water that the Australians used, all among the listed products, the third place was cereal, as 12% of this amount required water. Far below this number were dairy and livestock, with their respective figures being 8% and 3%, which is as high as the figure for rice (3%). Similarly, cereal ranked third in terms of income generated, which was followed by dairy and livestock, which made up for 8% and 3%, in that order. Eventually, reaching the lowest percentage of total income, 1% was generated from rice in Australia.
