Ten countries with the largest industrial water consumption in the world. In Estonia, Finland and Lithuania, more than 90% of water is used for industrial purposes.
Please list the percentage of total industrial water consumption in this country. 1 Estonia 96%2 Finland 93%3 90% Lithuania 4 Belgium 88%5 Netherlands 87%6 Germany 84%7 Moldova 83%8 Slovenia 82%9 Serbia 82% 10 Canada 80%.
Estonia
96% of Estonia's water is used for industrial purposes. Estonia is located in the Baltic Sea, and lakes and rivers provide surface water for the country. It has the fourth largest lake in Europe, namely Lake Peps. Estonia has several industries that affect water resources abundance and water security. They are textile, paper and pulp industry, food processing industry and oil shale mining. Oil shale department mainly uses a lot of water for power generation and fuel treatment, and wastewater treatment is distributed all over the country to curb water pollution caused by industry.
Finland
Finland's water resources include surface water and groundwater, and Finland's aquifers are very rich, which are constantly supplemented by rainfall and snowmelt. The groundwater in Finland is pollution-free and of high quality. Proper planning of the industrial sector takes into account the risk of water pollution and takes preventive measures. Industrial emissions in Finland are comprehensively monitored to ensure that harmful substances are not discharged into water bodies. Finland's water-intensive industries include papermaking and pulp production, textile manufacturing, food processing, clothing manufacturing and chemical production. Water is used to generate electricity for machinery and metal industries.
Lithuania
90% water users in Lithuania enter industry. Surface water is the main water source in the country, and groundwater is also a resource used in Lithuania. Lithuania's water-intensive industries include textiles, wood and paper, chemicals and agricultural products processing. Lithuania has also formulated appropriate measures to manage water resources and prevent pollution. Lithuania is one of the countries with the highest water policy in the world.
Belgium
88% of the water in Belgium is used for industrial purposes. Most of the water resources in Belgium are located in the Walloon region, and surface water accounts for most of the water intake. Belgium is rich in water resources with high utilization rate. Belgium's water-intensive industries include textiles, chemicals, food and beverage processing, and the river pollution reported by Belgium is mainly caused by historical pollution and contemporary waste. However, Belgium has taken measures to meet international water safety standards. Other countries that consume the most industrial water include the Netherlands (87%), Germany (84%), Moldova (83%), Slovenia (82%), Serbia (82%) and Canada (80%).
Conclusion: Although the industries in these countries consume a lot of water resources, they have managed to avoid excessive depletion of water resources, and proper planning of industrial departments has reduced the impact of various industries on the environment.
