The bar chart illustrates average residential water consumption in selected Australian cities over the previous year, while the pie chart shows how total water use in Australia was distributed among different sectors during the same period.
Overall, residential water consumption varied noticeably between cities, with some urban areas using substantially more water per property than others. In terms of national distribution, agriculture was by far the dominant consumer of water, whereas all other sectors accounted for relatively small shares.
Among the cities shown, Perth recorded the highest level of average household water consumption, followed by Brisbane and Adelaide. Sydney occupied a middle position, with moderate usage compared to the other major cities. In contrast, Melbourne and Canberra reported the lowest residential consumption figures, indicating more restrained household water use in these locations.
The pie chart reveals that agricultural activities accounted for the vast majority of Australia’s water consumption. Household use represented only a minor proportion of total water demand, while sectors such as water supply and sewage services, electricity and gas, manufacturing, and other industries each contributed relatively small shares. Mining was the least significant user overall. This comparison highlights the contrast between urban residential consumption and the overwhelming dominance of agriculture at the national level.
