The provided charts illustrate the distribution of global water sources and their utilization in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Canada.
Overall, the visuals depict that a significant portion of worldwide water resources is saltwater, while freshwater is predominantly found in glaciers and ice caps. The water usage patterns vary among the three countries, with agriculture being the primary sector of water consumption in two nations, and industrial use being more prominent in the third.
Notably, saltwater constitutes a vast majority of the global water sources, comprising 97% of the total, leaving freshwater at a mere 3%. Within the freshwater category, groundwater represents 20%, surface water accounts for only 1%, and glaciers/ice caps represent approximately 80% of the total freshwater resources.
Egypt and Saudi Arabia exhibit comparable water usage tendencies, with a predominant focus on agricultural activities, amounting to 86% and 87% respectively. Both nations allocate the least water for industrial purposes, with Saudi Arabia slightly lower than Egypt. Conversely, Canada utilizes water primarily for industrial pursuits, at a proportion similar to agriculture in the other two countries, while its agricultural consumption stands at a modest 10%.
