the percentage of water used NMM2b

The pie charts give information about the proportion of water used for industrial, agricultural and domestic purposes in 6 different regions in the world. Overall, more water is consumed by agriculture than by industry and homes in the two Asia regions, Africa, and South America. By contrast, industry accounts for the vast majority of water used in North America and Europe. Out of 6 areas of the world, agriculture is the main use of water in Central and South East Asia, Africa and South America. The figures for 4 areas are at/take up 88%, 81%, 84% and 71% respectively. In contrast, only 39% of agricultural water consumption in North America, which is 7% higher than the figure for Europe. The opposite trend can be seen in water consumption for Industry. This (category) makes up 53% of total water usage in Europe compared to 48% (of total water usage) in North America. By comparison, the figures for 4 remaining regions were much lower, varying from 5% to 12%. In terms of Domestic use, while the proportion of water used for homes in the two regions of America and Europe is over 13%, the figures for Central and South East Asia and Africa are under 10%.
