Water use: Industry
 
 
Currently, on a global basis, 23 percent of all water withdrawn for human use on an annual basis is soaked up by industry. These global averages vary a great deal between regions. In Africa, for instance, water use for industry accounts for 5 percent while in Europe, most water is used in industry (54 per cent).
