The pie charts give information about how much water was used for 8 different agricultural products in Australia and the proportion of total income of those in 2004.
Overall, although the biggest percentage of water was channeled to livestock in 2004, the most income was seen in the figure for fruit in Australia. It is also apparent that rice and vegetable products exhibited the smallest share of both water usage and total value to the Australian economy.
Regarding water usage in Australian agriculture in 2004, the water consumption of livestock was noticeably different from that of dairy, with the former at 36% and the latter at 19%. Cotton had a higher percentage of water consumption at 15% compared to sugar, which stood at 10%. A similar disparity was observed in the figures for fruit and rice, 11% and 5%, respectively. The least amount of water was used for vegetables in the same year.
In terms of values of these products to the Australian economy, the proportion of total income earned from fruit was 44%—which was the highest figure among other products given—whereas dairy ranked second in this category with 24%. The figure for cotton contrasted sharply with that of rice (which was the smallest source of income), with cotton at 13% and rice at 1%. The share of income that came from vegetables, livestock, and sugar ranged from 5% to 7%, with a difference of 1%.
