The table gives information about the percentage of water used for three different purposes in four countries.
Overall, it is evident that all four countries used the least amount of water for domestic purposes, while in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, the agriculture sector accounted for the largest share of water. However, the industry was responsible for the largest percentage in both New Zealand and Canada.
Egypt allocated the largest amount of water for its agriculture, accounting for 82%, while only 8% and 10% were used in the domestic and industry sectors, respectively. Saudi Arabia used 30% of its water for the industry sector, half of the percentage used for agriculture, 64%. The least water usage went to domestic use, 6%.
However, in Canada, the industry sector comprised over two-thirds of the total water, 70%, followed by agriculture, 10%, and with domestic use taking up two-fifths, 20%. Meanwhile, New Zealand used 46% and 44% of its total water for the industry and agriculture sectors, respectively, yet the domestic use stood at only 10%.
