The charts show global water use divided into three categories, Agriculture, Domestic and Industry, as well as the use in China, India, New Zealand and Canada in 2010
Overall, it is clear that the majority of world water is used in Agriculture, with China reflecting the world trend most closely. In terms of individual countries, the less economically developed used far more water for agriculture than any other purpose, while the more developed countries allocated more water for Domestic and Individual use.
Almost three quarters of water in the world was used for agriculture in 2010, with just under a quarter allocated for Industry and the remaining 8% for use in homes. China's water use was almost identical to the global trend, differing by only 1%. The other less economically developed country, India used far more water for agriculture than any other country (92%) dividing the remaining 8% between Domestic use and Industry almost equally (5% and 3% respectively).
The two more developed countries. New Zealand and Canada used less water for agriculture than the world average. However, while New Zealand used almost an equal amount for this purpose and Domestic use (around 47% each) and only a small part for Industry, Canada used the majority of its water, accounting to 80%, for industrial purposes, and only 12% for use at home and 8% for farming.
