The pie chart illustrates about how much water was consumed by Australian people in 2004 across six different sectors.
At first glance, it is clear that the proportion of the residential houses was the highest, while the percentage of “other” was the lowest in chart.
Looking at details, business accounted for a tenth of total water usage. This was 4% higher than the portion used by the government. On the other hand, this was 3% lower than the percentage of the residential apartments, which stood at 13%. A large amount of water, 11%, was also used by industry, whereas the smallest proportion of water consumption, only 3%, was recorded in “other” category.
Residential houses made up 57% of the water intake, which meant that this was the highest percent in the pie chart. Overall, residential sectors combined (houses and apartments) consumed a total of 70%, far exceeding the shares of all other sectors.
