The pie charts showcase the difference amongst six regions across the world in terms of named water uses in percentage.
Water used for industrial purposes presents the most drastic contrasts in regional consumption trends. Europe and North America, as the top two consumers, reach 53% and 48% respectively. South America and South East Asia assume the second tier in the charts, both amounting to about 10%. The smallest proportion of water is used industrially in Africa and Central Asia (7% and 5% respectively).
Agriculture is where regional differences in water consumption rates are relatively smaller: North America and Europe both stand between 30% and 40%, while the other four regions in question find themselves in a high-value band (71 to 88%).
Households use the least amount of water: less than 20% for North and South America and Europe, and less than 10% for other regions.
In sum, despite the regional difference and generalities, agriculture, industry, and domestic uses of water are in a descending order.
