Figure 6.
In watersheds with substantial water consumption (right side of each figure), irrigation is the dominant use of water (A), but this does not correspond directly to water depletion status (B). In A, each watershed is indicated by a single bar, arranged from left to right in order of increasing annual consumption. Each bar is made up of 5 segments stacked vertically, representing fractional water consumption by the domestic, manufacturing, electricity, irrigation, and livestock sectors. In B, the color of the bar indicates depletion status. Bars in B correspond to the same watershed directly above in A.
