The charts illustrate the global allocation of two main types of water and their usage in three specific sectors: agriculture, domestic use, and industry across three regions.
Overall, it is noticeable that the percentage of salt water significantly exceeds that of fresh water sources. Among various sources of clean water, ice and glaciers hold a substantial share. Furthermore, the distribution of water usage in Egypt and Saudi Arabia shows the same statistical percentages, with agriculture being the most dominant sector. In contrast, Canada exhibits the highest proportion of water usage in the industry sector.
In terms of global water distribution, salt water accounts for a substantial 97%. Meanwhile, fresh water sources include various elements such as ice and glaciers, groundwater, and surface water. Ice and glaciers comprise the largest portion, recorded at 79%, while groundwater and surface water have a ratio of 20:1.
When examining water utilization across different sectors, both Egypt and Saudi Arabia report the highest percentage of water used for agriculture, approximately 80%, compared to about 10% for domestic use and industry. This stands in stark contrast to Canada, where industry dominates, accounting for 80% of water usage, while the remaining sectors hold equal proportions of 10% each.
