Band 8+: Writing Task 1: Pie Chart & Table You should spend about 20 minutes on this task The charts below show the distribution of the world's water and the use of water in three countries.

The charts show the distribution of the world’s water and how water is used in three different countries.

Overall, most of the world’s water is salt water and very little is available as fresh water. Among the fresh water, the majority is stored in ice and glaciers. In terms of water use, Egypt and Saudi Arabia use most of their water for agriculture, while Canada uses the largest amount for industry.

According to the first pie chart, 95% of all water in the world is salt water, and only 5% is fresh water. The second chart shows that most fresh water (75%) is found in ice and glaciers. 23% comes from ground water, while only 2% is surface water.

The table shows that Egypt uses 84% of its water for agriculture, and only 15% is used domestically, with 8% used by industry. Similarly, Saudi Arabia spends 83% of its water on agriculture, 15% on domestic use and 10% on industry. However, in Canada, only 9% of water is used for agriculture, while industry uses the largest amount, at 80%, and domestic use accounts for 10%.

In summary, although fresh water is very limited worldwide, different countries use their water differently, with agriculture being the main use in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and industry being the major sector in Canada.
