The table shows how six countries used water for domestic, industrial and agricultural purposes in 2003.
Overall, most countries used the largest share of their water for farming, expect Canada and Australia where domestic use was the highest. Industrial use generally made up the smallest portion.
In the UK, 90% of water went to agriculture, while domestic and industrial use were both about 5%. China showed almost similar pattern with 87% for farming and only small amounts for homes and industry. India also relied heavily on agriculture, using 82% of its water for this purpose.
In contrast, Canada used most of its water domestically (63%), followed by industry(32%) with very little for farming. Australia showed similar trend with 65% for domestic use and just 2% for industry. Meanwhile Japan used 66% of its water for agriculture with domestic and industrial use at 19% and 15%.
