The most important use of water in agriculture is for irrigation, which is a key component to produce enough food. Irrigation takes up to 90% of water withdrawn in some developing countries and significant proportions in more economically developed countries (in the United States, 30% of freshwater usage is for irrigation).

农业用水最重要的用途是灌溉,灌溉是生产足够食物的关键组成部分。 在一些发展中国家,灌溉占用水的90%,在经济较发达的国家,灌溉也占很大比例(在美国,30%的淡水用于灌溉)。
