Water Consumption: Industrial Water Consumption, 1999

The industrial sector represents 16% of total freshwater consumption. The amount used reflects population distribution to some degree, but the high values in some watersheds far from the largest cities reflects the occurrence of resource-processing, a heavy user of water. In most cases, these facilities (mainly in the forest industry) were specifically located so as to be close to large water supplies.
