Answer :
Let's analyze each of the given statements one by one using the data provided:
1. More water was used to farm aquatic organisms than to make products (industrial).
- Water used to farm aquatic organisms: 9,420 million gallons/day.
- Water used to make products (industrial): 15,900 million gallons/day.
- Comparison: 9,420 < 15,900.
- Conclusion: This statement is False.
2. More water was used to make products than to produce electricity.
- Water used to make products (industrial): 15,900 million gallons/day.
- Water used to produce electricity: 161,000 million gallons/day.
- Comparison: 15,900 < 161,000.
- Conclusion: This statement is False.
3. More water was used to produce electricity than to grow crops (irrigation).
- Water used to produce electricity: 161,000 million gallons/day.
- Water used for irrigation: 115,000 million gallons/day.
- Comparison: 161,000 > 115,000.
- Conclusion: This statement is True.
4. More water was used to grow crops than to mine land resources.
- Water used for irrigation: 115,000 million gallons/day.
- Water used for mining: 5,320 million gallons/day.
- Comparison: 115,000 > 5,320.
- Conclusion: This statement is True.
Summarizing the analysis:
- First statement: False.
- Second statement: False.
- Third statement: True.
- Fourth statement: True.
Thus, the statements that accurately summarize the data provided are:
- More water was used to produce electricity than to grow crops.
- More water was used to grow crops than to mine land resources.
