Question: what accounts for the highest percentage of global freshwater use?
Answer: The agricultural sector accounts for roughly 70% of all freshwater withdrawals globally, and more than 90% in most of the world's least-developed countries (WWAP, 2014). By 2050, agriculture will need to produce 60% more food globally, and 100% more in developing countries (Alexandratos and Bruinsma, 2012).
