The bar chart illustrates the distribution of water use in six different gulf countries: Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, UAE, Saudi Arabia. Overall, it is evident from the picture that throughout all the given nations, most of the water is provided for domestic and agricultural use, whereas allocation to industrial purposes is considerably low.
Saudi Arabia and Oman followed a similar trend in use of water for agricultural and domestic needs. This claim can be supported by the fact that over 80% of the liquid has been distributed towards agricultural needs, making both countries investing most of the water in meat and vegetables with fruit. Similarly, both nations provided roughly 15-16% of the water to households. However, in contrast to Oman, Saudi Arabia accounted for 1% or even lower for the industrial development, compared to Oman which comprised 5%.
Another similar pattern can be observed in Qatar and UAE, using 61% of the water for agricultural purposes. Although their distribution in agricultural field was the same, they used the water differently for domestic and industrial purposes. Qatar accounted for 30%, UAE comprised approximately 35% for domestic use.
In contrast, both Bahrain and Kuwait has mainly used more than a half of the overall amount of water for domestic uses, such as cooking, cloth washing, and bathing: 52% and 61% respectively. Despite that, their water distribution for agricultural and industrial use varied. Bahrain accounted for nearly 40% in agriculture and roughly 8% in industrial use; Meanwhile, Kuwait allocated approximately one-fifth for each of them.
