This is a map of the world illustrates the proportion of total water withdrawal that is withdrawn for agriculture. Only a few industrialized countries in central Europe (for example France and Germany), Russia, and Canada use less than 25% of the total water they withdraw for agricultural purposes. These nation have two things in common: a boreal geographical location and a very small primary sector.
The opposite occurs for countries in Sub-Sahara, the Arabian Peninsula and South East Asia. The economy in most of these countries is less developed, what means that a huge part of the population works within the primary sector (the agricultural sector). Also, due to their location between the equator and the tropic of Cancer these regions suffer aridity for most months.
