The line graph shows the information about the amount of water which was
consumed globally in different sectors, namely Agriculture, Industrial and
Domestic use, throughout 20th century, while the table compares the water consumption between Brazil and Congo in 2000. Overall, what stands out from the line graph is that there were significant upward trends in the water consumption over a hundred-year period. The global use of water by agriculture came top of the list with 500 km3 in 1900. There was a steady growth over one hundred years, finishing at 3000 km3. It is worth mentioning that the Industrial and Domestic use of water were very close to each other with just above 0 in 1900. Both trends were similar, remaining stabile until 60s. The figures for Industrial use increased marginally, reaching at 1,500 km3 in 00s. The water consumption by the domestic use witnessed a gradual increase from 80s to 00s, finishing at around 500 km3. A glance at the water consumption table, for instance, Brazilian inhabitants consumed much more water than citizens of Congo per person. It is a fact that, there is a positive correlation between irrigated land and the use of water, which is meant that Brazil were engaged in agriculture more than Congo in 2000.
