* Projections based on the New Policies Scenario reflects the way that governments,
individually or collectively, see their energy sectors developing over the coming decades. Its starting point is the policies and measures that are already in place, but it also takes into account, in full or in part, the aims, targets and intentions that have been announced, even if these have yet to be enshrined in legislation or the means for their implementation are still taking shape.
This statistic represents the projected water consumption worldwide in 2014 with projections until 2040, broken down by sector. In 2040, it is projected that water consumption under the agricultural sector will reach billion cubic meters worldwide.
