Overall, the chart makes it clear that the Agriculture is the dominant consumer of water in four regions, especially in Central Asia, South East Asia and Africa, whereas industry takes the second place in Europe and North America. Domestic use recorded the lowest use of water in all regions.
North America and Europe recorded the highest use of water on industry by 48% and 53% respectively. While Agriculture takes a small proportion by 32% in Europe and 39% in North America, whilst household use is relatively modest, making up around 13-15%.
In contrast, water consumption in Central Asia , South East and South America are overwhelmingly Agricultural, thus taking the highest proportions by 88%, 81% and 71% respectively. In these regions, industrial use is minimal, ranging from 5% to 12%, and domestic use remains under 10%.
Unlike South America, which heavily relies on agriculture however, has a higher share of water by 88%.
