Band 9: The table below shows water use for different purposes in four countries. The use of water by four different countries (%) Country Domestic use Industry Agriculture Egypt 8 10 82 Saudi Arabia 6 30 64 New Zealand 10 46 44 Canada 20 70 10

The given table illustrates the proportion of water consumption for different purposes in four countries.

Overall, domestic and industrial water use are most prevalent in Canada, whereas agriculture accounts for the largest share in Egypt. Additionally, water consumption in Egypt and Saudi Arabia mainly comes from agriculture, while industry is the dominant sector in New Zealand and Canada.

In Egypt, the majority of water consumption comes from agriculture, accounting for around four-fifths of the total. By contrast, the figures for domestic and industrial use are much lower, at 10% and 8% respectively, with domestic use being slightly higher. Similarly, in Saudi Arabia, 64% of water is used for agriculture, followed by industry and domestic use at 30% and 6%, respectively.

In New Zealand, industry makes up approximately half of total water usage, which is slightly higher than agriculture and nearly five times that of domestic use. Finally, in Canada, 70% of water is used for industry, followed by domestic use at 20%, while agriculture accounts for the remaining 10%.
