Water consumption by economic sectors
Water consumption has decreased since the
beginning of the 1990's. A large drop in water consumption
occurred in 1993 in industrial and agricultural sectors. The water
consumption in 2000 among sectors was (as a percentage of the
level in 1991): municipal use - 38%, industry - 32%, agriculture -
30%. The drop in water consumption can be explained by a fall in
industrial production, as well as by implementation of water
consumption accounting which led to water-saving practices in
industry and especially in households.
