The pie chart illustrates how bottled water is used in different regions relative to the global usage in 1999, and the increasing rate in such a trend in 2001 is presented in the bar chart.
Overall, there was a remarkable variation amongst the regions regarding the use of bottled water. It is also noteworthy that Asia held the dominating role in both diagrams.
Looking further into the pie graph, the Asian consumed almost half of the worldwide bottled water quantity, which was virtually equivalent to the aggregation of the figure for the rest. Latin America contributed 10% to the world’s consumption, doubling the share of Africa and the Middle East each. Also, the usage percentage in New Zealand was almost equal to that in the USA, with each of which accounting for around 14% of the global water intake. Finally, Western Europe and Australia were the smallest contributors, whose rate each was a meager below 5%.
As for the bar chart, the highest rise could be observed in Asia’s bottled-water drinking (at precisely 14%) in 2001. The upward trend in water intake of Latin America was equal to that of New Zealand, and this pattern was replicated in the cases of the Middle East and Africa, with each surging respectively by 12% and 10%. Likewise, there was no significant gap between the figures for Australia and America, both experiencing a mere 8% climb, quadrupling the proportion of Western Europe.
