Global Water Usage and Sugar Production

The document summarizes water usage patterns across different world regions based on pie charts. It finds that [1] North America and Europe consume the highest percentages of their water for industrial purposes, while agriculture accounts for most water usage in South America, Africa, and Asia. [2] More specifically, industrial water consumption constitutes 48% and 53% of total usage in North America and Europe respectively, but only 5-12% in other regions, where over 80% of water goes to agriculture. [3] Domestic water usage is 13-15% in North America and Europe but under 10% in Africa and Asia, and 19% in South America.

DRAFT 2

The pie charts give information about the proportion of water used for three different
purposes in six major regions in the world. In general, it can be seen clearly that North
American and European nations consume the highest percentages of water for industrial
purposes. By contrast, agriculture accounts for most of the water used in South American,
African and Asian countries.

More specifically, industrial water consumption in North America and Europe constitutes
48% and 53% of total water usage respectively. Meanwhile, the figures for industry in the
remaining areas range from only 5% to 12%. In fact, in Africa, Central Asia and South
East Asia, a significant majority of water is consumed by agriculture, with over 80%.
Besides, agricultural water usage in South America is moderately high at 71%, which is
equal to the figures for North America (39%) and Europe (32%) combined.

It is also noticeable that water consumption for domestic use in North America and
Europe accounts for 13% and 15% respectively. Besides, household water use in
South America is higher than in other parts of the world and stands at 19%. The
figures for African and Asian nations are considerably smaller, at less than 10%

LESSON 17

1. Firstly, the process commences with collecting wastepaper from companies and
families.

2. At stage three, honey is filtered carefully to remove impurities.

3. The coffee beans are spread out in the sun to dry out and poured into large sacks.

4. Next, the coffee beans are roasted at high temperature and put in a grinding machine.
5. Used plastic bottles are loaded onto a truck to be transported to waste recycling
facilities where these bottles are sorted by hand.

The diagram illustrates various steps in the process of making sugar from sugar cane. In
general, there are seven distinct steps in total, which can be categorized into three main
stages. These include growing and collecting sugar canes, processing those sugar canes,
and producing the final product, which is sugar.

Looking at the diagram in detail, we can see that the process commences with planting
sugar canes from 12 to 18 months. The mature sugar canes are then harvested either
manually or by large, industrial farming machinery. At the next step, sugar canes are
passed through a crushing machine and juice is extracted. The juice is put in a limestone
filter to get rid of impurities.

Having been processed this way, the pure juice is boiled at high temperature in an
evaporator to become syrup. Then, the syrup is poured into a centrifuge at high speed to
separate sugar crystals from it. Finally, the crystals are dried and cooled in a large
container to produce finished sugar.
