The pie chart illustrates the proportion of water consumption in North Africa across five sectors, namely agriculture, domestic use, industry, tourism, and other purposes.
Overall, agriculture accounted for the largest share of water consumption in North Africa, followed by domestic use. It is notable that the remaining sectors represented considerably smaller proportions.
In terms of the leading categories, agriculture accounted for the largest share at 36%, making it the single biggest consumer of water in the region. This was followed closely by domestic use, which made up 33% of the total, or approximately one-third. Together, these two sectors were responsible for 69% of all water consumption in North Africa, accounting for more than two-thirds of the total.
While industry represented a considerably smaller proportion at 19%, it still consumed a significant amount of water compared to the two smallest sectors. Tourism and other uses each accounted for negligible shares, at 8% and 4% respectively, making them by far the least significant contributors to overall water use.
