Question –The graph and table below give information about water use worldwide and water consumption in two different countries.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write atleast 150 words.
The charts show the global water consumption for homes, businesses, and agriculture as well as the water consumption in Brazil and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
It is evident that the world’s water needs increased dramatically between 1900 and 2000, with agriculture using the majority of that water. Furthermore evident is the fact that Brazil used a lot more water than the Congo.
It is clear that the majority of the water used by agriculture increased dramatically between 1900 and 2000, contributing to the world’s water needs. It is also clear that Brazil used a lot more water than the Congo.
Brazil and the Congo had respective populations of 176 million and 5.2 million in 2000. Brazil had 265 times more irrigated land than the Congo, which may account for the country’s significantly higher water consumption per person (359 m³) than that of the latter country (8 m³).
