The three pie charts illustrate the distribution of water usage in San Diego County, California, and globally, divided into residential, industrial, and agricultural sectors.
Overall, San Diego allocates the largest share of its water to residential use, while globally, the most significant portion goes to agriculture. California shows a more even distribution among the three categories.
In San Diego, residential water use makes up 60%, which is considerably higher than in California (39%) and worldwide (8%). Industrial use in San Diego accounts for 23%, nearly the same as the global average, but lower than California’s 33%. Agricultural use is the least in San Diego, comprising only 17% compared to 28% in California.
In contrast, agriculture dominates worldwide water usage at 69%, far surpassing the percentages in California and San Diego. Residential use globally is just 8%, significantly lower than in the other two regions. Industrial use worldwide is 23%, which is equal to San Diego’s figure but still slightly below California’s.
