water use in Gulf countries 2000

The chart compares the water uses in gulf countries in 2000. The general trend in all 6 countries was that water for agriculture and domestic uses were the two most important uses. Water for industrial use was the least important use.

In four of the six countries, water for agriculture was the most important use. In Qatar, Oman, the UAE and Saudi Arabia more than 2 times the amount of water was used for agriculture compared to domestic use which was the second most important use. In the other two countries, Bahrain and Kuwait, domestic use was the most important use and agriculture was the second most important use. In all six countries industrial use was the least important use.

In conclusion we can see that in 2000 industrial use was not as important as domestic use or agriculture in these 6 Gulf countries.
