The information is shown in two distinct charts: the pie chart and the bar chart. The pie chart displays the proportion of water use in Australia, while the bar chart shows how residents used water in the country, both recorded in 2004.
Overall, it is clear that houses and apartments used the most water, while other categories used the least. Additionally, most household water was consumed in gardens and bathrooms.
As for the pie chart, residential use accounted for the largest percentage of total water consumption at 70 percent, while the other category made up about 3 percent. Following this, the industrial sector comprised 11 percent, businesses accounted for 10 percent, and the government represented around 6 percent.
In contrast, the bar chart provides data on residential water use in 2004, broken into five categories: bathrooms, toilets, washing clothes, kitchen, and garden. The garden used the largest share at 28 percent. The second largest was bathrooms, at 27 percent, while categories like washing clothes and toilets each took about a fifth and 15 percent, respectively. The smallest segment in the bar chart was the kitchen, which represented one in ten.
