The table compares six various countries in terms of how much water they use in three sectors — domestic, agriculture, and industry. Units are measured in metric cubs (m3).
Overall, the figure for agriculture is significantly higher than the other sectors across all countries, with Russia using the most water, while the complete opposite scenario is true for Australia. Notably, almost all nations’ domestic water usage is the lowest, except Russia and Australia, whereas industry sector exhibits moderate numbers.
Regarding the highest figures, Russia has by far the highest water utilization (at a staggering 1863m3). This is followed by those of Turkey and Canada, with respective usage of 1482m3 and 1238m3. The remaining countries, in contrast, show dramatically lower rates, hovering around 810m3.
When it comes to domestic water, Australia takes the lead. It is only Australia and Canada with three-digit numbers: 341m3 and 279m3, respectively. The other countries, in stark contrast, negligibly utilize the water in this sector, ranging from 26m3 to 98m3. Interestingly, China is a country which lags far behind.
There is a considerable variation in the industry sector. Canada and Turkey top the table, with just over 100m3 difference in water usage (832m3 and 731m3, consecutively). Australia and the UK trail significantly behind these countries: 276m3 and 398m3, in that order. China (71m3) and Russia (56m3) stood at the lower end of the scale.
