Band 7+: The charts below show the distribution of the world's water and the use of water in three countries. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The pie chart illustrates the distribution of water on Earth, and the bar chart provides information about the way three nations use water.

According to the pie chart, saltwater accounts for 97 percent of the total, leaving only 3 percent for freshwater. Of the limited freshwater supply, a staggering 79 percent is frozen in glaciers and ice caps, while 20 percent exists as ground water. Surface water, which is more readily accessible, makes up merely 1 percent of all freshwater.

Regarding the consumption in three countries, both Egypt and Saudi Arabia mostly utilize 80 percent for Agriculture reasons, with only small proportions allocated to domestic and industrial use. On the contrary, Canada follows a completely different pattern, with approximately 80 percent for industry purposes. Domestic water use remains relatives low across all three nations
