The given pie charts compare the proportion of water used for six agricultural products and the percentage of income generated from those products in Australia in 2004.
Overall, vegetables consumed the largest share of water, whereas fruits generated the highest income. There is a noticeable discrepancy between water usage and income for some products, particularly vegetables and fruits.
In terms of water usage, vegetables accounted for the highest proportion at 33%, followed closely by fruits at 28%. Cereal production consumed 12% of the water, while dairy products required 8%. Rice and livestock each made up the smallest share, both at just 3%.
In contrast, the income distribution paints a different picture. Fruits generated the highest percentage of total income at 42%, significantly exceeding their share of water use. Vegetables, despite being the most water-intensive crop, contributed only 33% to total income. Cereal production brought in 13% of income, slightly higher than its water consumption. Dairy products showed an exact match between water usage and income, each at 8%. Meanwhile, both rice and livestock accounted for minimal portions of income, at 1% and 3% respectively.
