The table provides data on how much water is used for agriculture, industry and domestic purposes in six states.
Overall, it is clear that developing countries tend to use more water for agriculture, whereas developed countries use more water for industry. Further, domestic water use is the lowest of the three categories in all countries except Brazil and Nigeria.
Looking at the agriculture data sets in more detail, it can be seen that the percentage of water which was used is the highest in Nigeria at 86%, followed closely by Brazil at 84%. Australia, Germany and the UK all show similar levels of water use, at 38%, 32% and 28%, respectively.
Turning to data sets for industry, it is evident that use of water for this purpose is the highest in the UK, at 67%. The percentage of water which was used is the lowest in Nigeria, at 3%, which is the lowest value on the table. Industrial water use is the same in India and Brazil, both at 9%.
Finally, water use for domestic purposes is the highest in Brazil, at 17%, followed by Australia at 14%, while the lowest usage of water for this purpose is in the UK, at 5%.
