How much more water do people use in a developed world than in a developing world?

People in the developed world typically use significantly more water than those in the developing world, often by a factor of 3 to 10 times. This disparity is due to higher consumption levels for domestic, agricultural, and industrial purposes, influenced by factors like lifestyle, infrastructure availability, and economic resources. In contrast, many people in developing regions lack access to reliable water sources, leading to lower overall consumption. Thus, the average water usage in developed countries can be vastly greater than in developing nations.


What is the purpose of special economic zones in china?

Special economic zones in China, India and other developing nations are an advantage to these nations. Despite much progress in the countries mentioned above, highly industrialized nations such as Japan, the USA, and in Western Europe as example, are expected to decrease pollutants produced domestically by the use of advanced technology. There is a cost factor involved that lesser developed nations do not have to pay. Special "economic zones" in the developing nations are exempt from the constraints that the more highly developed nations are. This is said with the knowledge that these special zones are being decreased in nations that are showing dramatic economic growth. China, as example produces more air pollutants from its city of Shanghai, despite cleaner production costs there. One only needs to examine the GDP & GNP of China and other countries to see that they are still far below the "West". In fact, reliable data from China is not easy to verify.

What caused anti-western movement?

In the 19th and 20th centuries, the Western nations, predominantly more technologized, used their greater machine power to exploit the various less developed nations, typically withdrawing much of their natural resources at what many consider to be less than fair prices. The attempted - and somewhat successful - eradication of the less developed people's cultural traditions and beliefs was not met with favor, either. Nor were the mass deaths of many civilians, at various times, when the local governments were not found pleasing to the Western powers.
