VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

The pie charts make a clear comparison in terms of how water was distributed in a range of industries in Sydney of Australia between 1997 and 2007.
According to the data, it is evident that in 1997, almost one half amount of water (48%) was allocated in food industry while a collective 47% could be found in the remaining sectors including service, manufacturing and household where water was more equally shared, ranging from 13% to 19%. It is building part that consumed the least proportion of water at merely 5%.
A decade later, significant changes had occurred with food industry dropping considerably by 7% though it still ranked the top. In addition, the water usage in building industry and manufacturing industry also declined, but only by 3% and 4 % respectively. On the contrary, there was an upward trend in water consumption of household and that of service industry which finally approached 21 % and exactly one quarter.
Overall, although food industry always played a dominant role in water distribution, the other parts such as manufacturing and household also had a rising demand.
