Examine Table ?. Which of the two water-use sectors (agriculture or

Agriculture consumes the highest percentage of its water (74% in eastern states and
59% in western states). The consumption rate for power is very low because the water
is used for cooling and is readily available for reuse. Agriculture consumes more water
because most of the water is taken up by plants or lost through evaporation.
