The pie charts illustrate the distribution of water all over the world and the bar graphs display the water utilization of three different countries. The units are expressed in percentage.
Overall, almost all of the world’s water is composed of salt water rather than fresh water. Most of the fresh water comes from ice and glaciers followed by ground water. Moreover, when it comes to water usage, Egypt and Saudi Arabia use water mostly for agricultural purposes rather than for domestic and industrial use. However, it is the opposite for Canada for the reason that almost all of their water consumption is for industrial use and not for agriculture.
In details, salt water comprises 97% of the world’s water and fresh water only contributes a mere 3% to this. 79% of fresh water is mostly from melted ice and glaciers while only 20% is from ground water.
In addition, water use in Egypt and Saudi Arabia reach almost 80% and around 75% respectively when it comes to agriculture. They both use roughly 14% for domestic needs and have the lowest percentage when it comes to industrial use ranging from approximately 8-10%. Canada, on the other hand, has an inverse fate having just below 80% in industrial water usage while only having about 11% and just below 10% for domestic and agricultural water utility.
