The pie charts illustrate the distribution of water for different agricultural products in Australia and the proportion of national income from these products in 2004.
Overall, the allocation of water for different products showed a lack of correlation with the earnings from them. In particular, although livestock accounted for the highest share of water, the most considerable revenue was recorded in fruit.
In 2004, livestock accounted for 36% of water usage, representing the highest proportion, by far higher than just over one-tenth for fruit. However, income earned from livestock recorded a minor 6%, whereas fruit constituted the largest percentage at a substantial 44%. Meanwhile, vegetables and rice both reported minimal figures for the distribution of water and national income, staying below 5% across categories
Regarding the remaining products, the water usage of sugar and cotton accounted for 10% and 15%, lower than the proportion of their income which was 7% and 13% respectively. By contrast, while the proportion of water used for dairy products was nearly one-fifth, their revenue accounted for nearly one-fourth.
