The charts delineate how the proportion of water varied according to various purposes in six regions of the world.
Overall, it is discernible that the rates of water for agricultural use were the most remarkable in Africa, South America, and Asia, which demonstrates the agriculture-based economies in these areas. Notably, all nations employed the least amount of water for domestic use.
According to the charts, regarding North America, the percentage of water for industrial use ranked first, exceeding the figure for agricultural and domestic use by 9% and 35%, respectively. A similar pattern can be seen in Europe when the proportion of domestic use was the most insignificant, which was approximately 4 times lower than the rate of industrial use.
In stark contrast to those areas, the top of the list was agricultural use with 71% while the figure for the remaining purposes was over 10% and under 19%. The allocations of water in Africa and Asia were nearly identical, with a large amount of water utilised for agriculture, comprising roughly four-fifths of the total quantity of water. Meanwhile, the percentages of water employed for other purposes were much lower, ranging from 5% to 12%
