The charts provide information about the global distribution of water and the ways in which water is used in three nations.
Overall, it is clear that the vast majority of the world’s water consists of salt water, while only a small proportion is fresh. Among the three countries, Egypt and Saudi Arabia use the largest share of their water for agriculture, whereas Canada consumes the greatest proportion for industrial purposes.
According to the pie charts, about 95% of all water is salt water, leaving only 5% as fresh water. Within the fresh water category, the largest portion, at 75%, is stored in ice and glaciers. Groundwater represents about 23%, while surface water accounts for only 2%. This indicates that very little of the earth’s total water is easily accessible for human use.
Looking at water usage across the three countries, Egypt and Saudi Arabia show similar patterns, with agriculture being the dominant consumer of water, at 84% and 83% respectively. Both countries use relatively little water for domestic and industrial purposes. In contrast, Canada displays the opposite trend, using 80% of its water for industry, while only 9% is used for agriculture and 10% for domestic consumption.
