Day 14 - Task 1
The pie charts compare water usage in San Diego, California and the rest of the world.
Report:
The three pie charts provide a breakdown of water consumption in San Diego County, the State of California, and the world as a whole. Overall, in both San Diego and California, households use the largest part of all water, with the figure for San Diego being particularly large, while agriculture holds the smallest share. However, in the rest of the world, the situation is completely opposite.
In the two US regions, the highest proportion of water is used for residential purposes. In San Diego, this sector consumed more than a half of all water, at 60%. The remaining part is more or less equally split between the industrial and agricultural sectors. As for California, although there is not such a wide gap between the three figures, individual households still account for the largest proportion of water used (39%). Local industries and agriculture are each responsible for around 30%.
In contrast, on the global scale, agriculture is by far the largest consumer of water, with almost 70%. Industries contribute roughly a quarter to the global water consumption, while the figure for residential use stands at a mere 8% - the lowest across the charts.
