The information about water use in the world and the consumption of water in two distinctive countries such as Brazil and Democratic Rebuplic of Congo is given in the form of a line chart and a table, respectively.
Overall, the usage of water experienced a going-up trend in all sectors in the given period. Water consumption per person in Brazil is higher than in Democratic Rebuplic of Congo.
In agriculture, the water use witnessed a constant growth with noticeable acceleration, with approximately 500 kilometres cubed in 1900 and about 3000 kilometres cubed in 2000, making it the most consuming sector. The industrial use of water remained relatively stable with just over 0 in 1900 and almost 75 kilometres cubed in 1940. An upward trend continued in subsequent years, with roughly 1000 kilometres cubed in 2000. The usage of water in domestic sector increased slightly throughout the period with just over 0 in 1900 and approximately 250 kilometres cubed in 2000, making it the third among categories.
Meanwhile, the population of Brazil is higher than In Democratic Republic of Congo with 176 million and 5.2 million, respectively. Brazil’s irrigated land is more than Congo’s by 26.5 times, with 100 kilometres squared in Congo. The volume of water used per person in Congo is 8 metres cubed, meaning that it is almost 35 times less than Brazil’s.
