International+Water+Consumption

When water use per capita is low, like in Mozambique, where only 4 liters is used per capita, it can be assumed that most of the water is assigned for domestic uses, like cooking and drinking. In countries where large amounts of water is used per capita, like the 575 liters per capita in the US, most water is probably used in industrial production and manufacturing. The 571-liter per capita difference between Mozambique and the US is an enormous distinction between the typical uses of each country’s water. Australia and Italy also has high water consumption per capita, using 493 and 374 liters. The lowest consumption after Mozambique are Uganda and Rwanda both using 15 liters per capita. The countries using less water per capita are typically developing countries, while those that use more water are more developed and industrial.
