water consumption in australia in 2004 and how residential water was consumed

The bar graph depicts the sectoral water expenditure in Australia throughout the year of 2004, whereas the pie graph outlines further information about domestic water consumption in the same year. Overall, the majority of Australia’s water consumption across sectors derived from residential areas. In addition to this, a further breakdown at the household level showed that bathing and gardening were the two most water-intensive uses. In particular, according to the bar graph, the outdoor need for gardening comprised more than a quarter of the amount of water, which was almost identical to that of bathrooms – the most water-consuming activities. Correspondingly, the indexes for the remaining purposes ranged from a high of 20% to a low of 10% with the lowest proportion being recorded for kitchen when there was merely a tenth the total water used at habitat. As per the pie chart, domestic water consumption accounted for exactly 70% of the total amount in Australia, in which usage in houses was quadruple greater than that in apartments, with 57% compared to 13%. Likewise, the rate of the remaining consumers ranged from a high of 11% to a low of 6%. To be specific, industrial and business uses were equivalent at approximately 10% each. Ultimately, government institutions and other activities constituted only tiny shares of the water consumed.
