The charts below show the percentage of water used for different purposes in six areas of the world.

The provided pie charts compare the domestic, agricultural and industrial water 1useconsumptions in six major parts of the world. In general, the highest percentage of water is utilised for agricultural purposes 2in Asia, Africa and South Americain Asian, African and South American countries while about half of the water in Europe and North America 3is used by industrygoes to industrial sectors. As can be seen from the given pie charts, North America's water consumption 4is very similar tohas a striking similarity to that of Europe. In both of these continents, about half of the 5water is used for industrywater is required in industrial sectors, almost one-third for crop cultivation and 13-15% for 6domestic usepeople’s household use. Interestingly, 7South America's water-use patternSouth American’s water-absorbing habit is quite contrary to 8North America'sthe North American region and it is more like the 9water-use patterns in Asia and Africawater consumptions in Asian and African continents. 10A great portion of water goes to 11agricultureagricultural division in Asian, African and North American countries which is over eight-tenths of their total consumption. 12The highest water consumption is cultivation could be observed in Central Asia (88%) which is almost treble than that of Europe. Household water use in South America is 13higher than in other regionshigher than other parts of the world and that stands at 19%. Only 147% to 9% of water7 to 9 percent water is used by people in 15Asia and Africa for domestic useAsian and African countries for their personal use at home. Finally, the industrial water 16useconsumptions in Asian and African areas 17rangedranges from 5% to 12% and this 18proportionration is quite lower than that of Europe and North America. Interestingly, South East Asia uses more water for manufacturing than each of Africa, 19Centralcentral Asia and South America.
