The graph illustrates information about the water used for agriculture, industry, homes around the world, water use in Brazil, and The Democratic Republic of Congo between the years 1900 and 2000.
Overall, the global water supply has grown steadily over the years. Within the given sectors, a lot of water has always been used for agriculture. As we can see, water consumption is much higher in Brazil than in Congo.
In 1900, 500 km of water was used for agriculture, while in 2000, the figure was 3, 000 km. Other sectors consumed around 100km of water in 1900, which is one-fifth of agriculture. For the industrial sector, agriculture accounted for 1, 500 km in 2000. For the domestic sector, around 400 km of water was used in 2000.
In 2000, the population of Brazil and Congo was 176 million and 5. 2 million, respectively. In Brazil, the per capita consumption of 359 m3 of water was much higher than in the Congo, at only 8 m, which could be explained by the fact that Brazil has 265 times more irrigated land.
