The table illustrates water usage in households, agriculture, and industry in six distinct countries.
Overall, the water allocation for agriculture stood out with consistently higher numbers in all countries compared to domestic and industrial water usage. Notably, Canada had the highest total water consumption in these sectors, while the reverse was true for China.
To begin with, Russia showed markedly greater numbers in agricultural water consumption, amounting to 1863 m. Additionally, Canada and Turkey were the second-largest water consumers in the field of agriculture, with corresponding figures of 1238 m and 1482 m. However, the amount of water allocated to agriculture in Australia, the UK, and China showed almost similar patterns, accounting for 741 m, 810 m, and 806 m respectively.
In terms of industrial water use, Canada and Turkey used significant amounts of water compared to other countries, with corresponding figures of 832 m and 731 m. In addition, the figure for the UK amounted to 398 m, followed distantly by Australia with 276 m, and China and Russia with respective figures of 71 m and 56 m.
The amount of water used in households was relatively small in all countries. It was highest in Australia and Canada, with 341 m and 279 m respectively. By contrast, other countries showed much smaller numbers: Russia with 98 m, Turkey with 80 m, the UK with 38 m, and China with 26 m.
