The given table compares the percentages of water use for various purposes in four nations, namely Egypt, Saudi Arabia, New Zealand and Canada.
Overall, while water in Egypt and Saudi Arabia is mainly used in Agricultural purposes, Industry is the sector which accounts for the largest proportions of water use in both New Zealand and Canada. Additionally, most countries use the least amount of water for domestic use, except for Canada.
In terms of countries chiefly using water for agriculture, 82% of the share of water use in Egypt goes to this purpose, which is about 20% higher than that in Saudi Arabia. In contrast, both nations witness the most insignificant percentages of water use for domestic activities, making up roughly 7% each.
Regarding nations with the largest water use proportions go to industry, Canada leads in this purpose with 70% in comparison with 46% of New Zealand. Notably, the figures for domestic use in New Zealand and Canadian agriculture make up a same portion of 10%, which are also the smallest shares among three categories of both countries.
