The pie chart discloses the water use data split into 6 sectors recorded in Australia while the bar chart reveals the rates of water usage for domestic purposes of the Australian residents in the year 2004.
As is observed, on the national scope, the residential sector consumed the highest water volume, as opposed to the remaining ones. Additionally, average Australian households primarily used more water for bathing and gardening than the other familial activities in the given year.
In terms of water consumption in those sectors, the most substantial amount of water used belonged to the housing sector, accounting for 57%, which was a reversion to the figure in other sectors, with a modest fraction. The percentage of water consumed for apartments was ranked the second-highest, including 13%, around 3% higher than that in the sectors of business and industry, while there was only 6% of the water used in the government sector.
Regarding water consumption in households, the proportion of water used in the bathroom hit a peak of around 27%, followed by that in the garden with close to 24%. The numbers of water dedicated to the toilet and washing garments comprised a respective 15% and 20%; meanwhile, only one-tenth of water was consumed for activities in the kitchen.
