The image shows the number of water use worldwide (km3) divided into three different sectors, from 1910 to 2010. Overall, every sectors experienced an increasing trend throughout the years. Agriculture sector was the highest, followed by industrial use in the second place, and domestic use in the third place. In addition, the position was not changed from the begining towards the end of the year.
In the beginning four decades, from 1910 to 1940, water use of agriculture sector grew steadily from 500 to 580 km3. A decade later, the number jumped to 1,000 km3. After the number increased slightly by 20 km3 in 1960, 5 decades later, the number rose significantly, and the number of water usage for agriculture sector reached its peak for around 3,000 km3 in 2010.
Initially, the number of water use for industrial and domestic use difference were not far with only 10 km3 differences (20 km3 for industrial use and 10 km3 for domestic use). But, after grew steadily for 6 decades, in 1980, the number of water usage of industrial use had a massive increase, to around 500 km3 and continued to increasing for the next three years and reached around 1,500 km3 in 2010. Meanwhile, the water use for domestic was grew steadily throughout the decades with only noticable jump in 1980, In 2010, the water use for domestic use peaked at 150 km3.
