Out of 6 areas of the world, agriculture is the main use of water in Central and South East Asia, Africa and South America. The figures for 4 areas are at/take up 88%, 81%, 84% and 71% respectively. In contrast, only 39% of agricultural water consumption in North America, which is 7% higher than the figure for Europe.
