Amounts do matter, but 82% for agriculture is not unusual. The amount of water that frackers and chipmakers are allowed to waste always astounds me.

- Retric 4y agoWorldwide farming is a ratio of 2.33:1 vs all other water use, 81% is 4.26:1 Aka a significant difference. US Farmers generally measure water use in acre fee, each of which is 325,851 gallons and many farms are using more than that per acre. It’s not difficult to find farms that use more than 1 billion gallons of water per year. By comparison the entire US fracking industry is onky using about 25 billion gallons per year.
