The pie charts make a clear comparison in terms of how water was distributed in a range of industries in Sydney of Australia between 1997 and 2007.
According to the data, it is evident that in 1997, almost one half amount of water (48%) was allocated in food industry while a collective 47% could be found in the remaining sectors including service, manufacturing and household where water was more equally shared, ranging from 13% to 19%. It is building part that consumed the least proportion of water at merely 5%.
A decade later, significant changes had occurred with food industry dropping considerably by 7%, although it still ranked the top. In addition, the water use in building industry and manufacturing industry also declined, but only by 3% to 2% and 11% respectively. On the contrary, there was an upward trend in water consumption of household and that of service industry which finally approached 21% and exactly one quarter.
    Overall, although food industry always played a dominant role in water use, the other parts such as manufacturing and household also had a rising demand.

     While some people believe that the government has a duty to provide art to the public, others argue that the government money should be spent on other urgent matters. This essay will examine whether governments should invest money in art.
    Throughout the ages, men have created beauty through painting, music, sculpture and other artistic expression which are essential to the cultural heritage of human beings. Investing in art often means that many different forms of culture are maintained: songs, literature and traditions etc. They all contribute to the richness and variety of human culture. Besides, art could be an important part of economy. It can stimulate tourism and create chances of employment. Therefore, it is easily understandable when people claim that the government has a duty to offer art to its citizens.
    However, governments need to balance their spending and spend wisely on art, especially when there are many other important issues. In many countries, a large proportion of people still do not have easy access to education ’and medical care. And in some places, famine and poverty are still national concerns. Considering the fact that the budget of the government is not unlimited and investment in art usually in the form of museums is not a small amount of money, the government should give its priority to some other issues.
    To conclude, I believe that the government have a responsibility to provide its citizens with art and to make art available to the public and that the proportion of investment in art should be carefully decided as the government is entrusted by its people to improve the quality of life.
