Question

the chart below shows water use in the middle east.
water use in the middle east
sector cubic meters percentage of total
public 26,000 9
industrial 20,000 7
agricultural 227,000 83
based on the chart, which describes the most important role that desalination plants play?
promoting public water use
helping to create industry
helping to produce food
promoting tourism

Explanation:

The chart shows agricultural water use makes up 83% of total water use in the Middle East, which is the largest share. Agriculture is directly tied to food production, so desalination plants (which provide freshwater) would most importantly support this sector for food production. The other options relate to smaller water-use sectors or are not linked to the data.

Answer:

helping to produce food
