1. A Watery World
UNIT 2

2. Water consumption and sources

3. Specification Details
 5.1a The differences in water consumption between
low-income countries (LICs) and high-income
countries (HICs) and the differences between
domestic, agriculture and industry usage.

4. World Mapper : By Water usage

5. Water Consumption
There is a huge difference in the water use between HICs (High
Income Countries) and LICs (Low Income Countries)
Region Water Used Daily Per Person
USA 600 litres
Europe 300 litres
UN recommended minimum 50 litres
Sub-Saharan Africa 25 litres
Present the following data on a bar graph
Africa – 85% Agriculture; 8% Domestic; 7% Industrial
Europe – 54% Industry; 33% Agriculture; 13% Domestic
USA – 45% Industry; 41% Agriculture; 14% Domestic

6. Using this information….
 The data needs to be shown graphically
 Use the data to create a percentage bar for
each of the continents.
100%
85% 8%
7%
So if the line is 10cm long – how long will agriculture be?

7. Finding and collecting water in Africa
 Water in Africa: Here

8. Water Usage
 Put these three headings into spider diagrams
 Around them put as many uses as you can think
for
 Domestic
 Agriculture
 Industrial

9. Task
 Glue the following slide in your book. It will
highlight some of the reasons for this
difference in water consumption.
 Do you think this is fair?
 How has it become unfair?
 How can this become more fairer?

10. What do these
images represent?

11. Homework
 Over the weekend – so for Saturday and Sunday
 Try to calculate how much water YOU use
 CONNECTIONS : P193
 BBC water calculator : here
 For everything else, use a very rough estimation
 Lets see who uses the most.
