The table below shows the residential use of water in one country in 1988 and 2008.
The table compares the percentage of household water usage of one country in 1988 and 2008 across 5 categories. Overall, while the proportion of water usage for bathroom and kitchen rose, the remaining categories went down. Notably, the water comsumption for kitchen surpassed all the others, becoming the largest category in 2008.
In 1988, water consumption for the kitchen was the lowest-ranking category at 16%, although that dramatically increased to 29% in 2008, which was the largest figure in the study. Water use in the bathroom also experienced growth, rising from 22% to 27%.
In contrast, the reverse was true for the remaining uses. Water usage for washing clothes showed the highest usage at 25% in 1988, which was then followed by just 3% of decline to 22% in 2008. Similarly, the figure for toilets slightly decreased from 18% to 14%. The allocation of water for the garden witnessed the largest drop, falling from 20% to only 7%, becoming the lowest percentage contributed.
In summary, the allocation of water resources for kitchen and garden showed the same percentage increase and decrease, respectively, the former becoming the largest use and the latter the lowest.
