The Given Line chart illustrates how the water consumption in four different regions, Asia, North America, Europe and Africa between 1995 and 2020. Units are measured in a million cubic meters.
Overall, it is clear that Asia had the highest water consumption throughout the period, while Africa consumed the least. All four regions showed a steady increase in water usage between 1995 and 2020
Focusing on the period from 1995 to 2010 Asia had the highest water consumption at 600 million cubic meters, followed by North America with 500 million cubic meters. Meanwhile, water consumption in Europe stood at 400 million cubic meters in 1995. showing a slight increase over the next 15 years. Africa had the lowest consumption, starting at 300 million cubic meters in 1995. Whereas, in 2010 this figure rose slightly to 350 million cubic meters.
Between 2010 and 2020, water consumption continued to rise across all regions. By 2020, Asia’s water consumption had peaked to 850 million cubic meters, maintaining its leading position. Meanwhile, North America saw a moderate increase, reaching 600 million cubic meters. Similarly, Europe experienced steady growth, with water usage reaching 450 million cubic meters by 2020. Likewise, Africa’s water consumption continued to rise, reaching 380 millions cubic meters by the final year.
