The pie charts compares the percentages of water used for industrial, agricultural and domestic use in six continent of the Earth. In general, the biggest proportion of water was used for industrial demands in North American and European countries, while the other four areas used this water mostly for agriculture.
In North American and European countries, the biggest amount of water was used for their industry, 48% and 53% respectively. Although 39% of water was used for agricultural development in North America, European cultures used 32% of this water for the same purpose. Notably, the figures for domestic usage were nearly the same in both these two continents (about 14% each).
The other four territories – South America, Africa, Central Asia, and South East Asia – were the main users of water for agricultural purpose. Remarkably, nearly the same percentage of water was used for domestic demand in Africa, Central and South East Asia, with approximately 8% each, while 19% of water used for these demands in South America, which was the second biggest purpose of usage. The figure for industry in South America was two times as high as Central Asia (10% and 5% respectively).
