In general, the highest usage is shown in the agricultural field in all the countries, while the least amount of water is used for industries. It is observed that both the United Kingdom and China exhibit remarkably similar patterns in their water consumption.
The usage of the agricultural sector in The UK and China reached the larger figure, with the UK taking the lead was 90% (the highest figure) and 87% for China, while their domestic and industrial water usage ranged between 5 and 7%. Closely following, India had slightly different figures, with a lower value for agriculture at 82% and higher figures for domestic and industrial usage at 10 and 8%, respectively.
When examining Canada and Australia, it is observed that domestic water usage in both countries is quite comparable, with figures of 63% and 65%, respectively. However, Canada stands out as a significant consumer of water for industrial purposes, utilizing 32% for industry, in stark contrast to Australia, which only consumes 2%. Interestingly, agricultural water consumption in Canada is minimal, at just 5%, whereas Australia allocates a more substantial 33% of its water resources to agriculture. Lastly, Japan used the largest share of its water in agriculture at 66%, and the rest was shared between domestic and industrial use, in similar proportions of 19% and 15%, respectively.
