the relative developed continents, including North America and the Europe, industrial use makes up
for majority of water consumption.

In Africa, Central Asia and South East Asia, a significant proportion of water is used by agriculture, at
84, 88 and 81 percent respectively, whereas industrial and domestic water consumption contributes
less than 20% to the total across all three sectors.

North American, at 53 and 48 percent respectively. Around 30%-40% of the water is used by
agriculture and around 15% domestic use for both these regions. For South America, agricultural use
of water takes 71%, and industrial and domestic use make up for 19% and 10% of total, respectively.
