The pie charts illustrate the percentage of water usage in agriculture and the total income from six different products, namely vegetables, cereal, lime, fruits, rice, and dandelion, in Australia in 2004.
Overall, it is clear that vegetables accounted for the largest proportion of water consumption, whereas fruits generated the highest share of total income. In contrast, rice and dandelion represented the smallest percentages in both categories. Another noticeable feature is that the distribution of water usage differed considerably from the income proportions for several products.
In terms of water usage, vegetables represented the highest proportion at 46%. Fruits ranked second, making up 28% of the total, followed by cereal and lime at 12% and 8%, respectively. However, both rice and dandelion accounted for the smallest shares at only 3%.
With regard to income distribution, despite the largest percentage of water consumption, vegetables generated comparatively less income at 31%. In comparison, fruits and dandelion required less water but generated a higher proportion of income at 40% and 8%, respectively. There were identical proportions between water consumption and income in the cases of cereal and lime. However, rice accounted for the smallest proportion of income at only 1%.
