Water used in the industrial and domestic sectors also increased, but consumption was minimal until mid-century. From 1950 onwards, industrial use grew steadily to just over 1000 km<sup>3<\/sup>, while domestic use rose more slowly to only 300 km<sup>3<\/sup>, both far below the levels of consumption by agriculture.<\/p>\n<p>The table illustrates the differences in agricultural consumption in some areas of the world by contrasting the amount of irrigated land in Brazil (26,500km<sup>2<\/sup>) with that in the D.R.C. (100km<sup>2<\/sup>). This means that a huge amount of water is used in agriculture in Brazil, and this is reflected in the figures for water consumption per person: 359 m<sup>3<\/sup> compared with only 8m<sup>3<\/sup> in the Congo. With a population of 176 million, the figures for Brazil indicate how high agricultural water consumption can be in some countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The graph and table below give information about water use worldwide and water consumption in two different countries.
