Consumption of water
How much water do you waste?
In Spain, the largest amount of water is used in agriculture (about 80%); 14% in industry and the rest in household consumption (only 6%). Spain has one of the largest water footprints in the world, amounting to about 2000 m³/capita/year. However, Spain is the first country that has included water footprint analysis into governmental policy.
