Table summary
This table displays the results of provinces and territories intake, recirculation, recirculation rate , gross water use , discharge, consumption  and consumption rate , calculated using millions of cubic metres, % and millions of cubic metres units of measure (appearing as column headers).

Recirculation rate = Amount of recirculated water as a percent of intake. The same water can leave a sub-system and re-enter it or is used in another sub-system many times, resulting in a recirculation rate > 100%.                        
Gross water use = Intake + Recirculation.                        
Consumption = Intake - Discharge.                        
Consumption rate = Consumption as a percentage of Intake.                        
Note(s): Figures may not add up to totals due to rounding.
