The graph and table below give information about water use worldwide and water consumption in two different countries.

The given graphically demonstrated information on global water consumption compared to Brazil and the Democratic Republic of Congo in the 19th century and early 20th century.

At first glance, it is readily apparent that the majority of the water used for agriculture is far higher than domestic use. Due to the vast areas of irrigated land, the rate of the capital had an average rate higher than farmland.

In 1900, 500km³ of water was used by the agriculture sector. Besides, the ratio surged fractionally in 40 years first; whereas, in 2000 the Global Water used to peak at around 3000km³. In contrast, the percentages of industrial and domestic consumption stood at a fifth of the amount. In participation, industry water climbed to approximately 1500km³ in 2000; moreover, households used under nearly a quarter of the amount.

Looking at the ratio of the population in Brazil was remarkable compared to the Democratic Republic of Congo. Specifically, each person in Brazil used 396m³ around 176 million respectively. Besides that, with 5.2 million, at 8m³ in Congo, despite the fact that Brazil had 265 times as much irrigated land.
