The two figures portray the distribution patterns of the global water and its utilization in three different countries.
Overall, salt water made up the bulk of the world’s water, while fresh water accounted for a very small portion. Ice and glaciers took up more than three-quarters of the available freshwater; at the same time, surface accounted for the smallest percentage. In terms of water usage, agriculture and industries were the highest and lowest in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, compared to Canada that used most of it in their industries and the least amount for farming.
Most of the earth’s water is salty, which takes up 97%, whereas fresh water takes up the remaining 3%. Additionally, the fresh water can be broken down into ice and glaciers, ground water, and surface water that account for 79%, 20%, and 1%, correspondingly.
Agriculture takes up the highest water usage in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, at slightly below 80% and around 75%, respectively, whilst industrial utilization takes up the bulk of the water in Canada, at roughly 80%. In comparison, industries experienced the least water utilization in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, at approximately 8% and 10%, whereas agriculture was the lowest in Canada, at slightly under 10%.
