Based on the goals of the lesson and data found in the World Bank databases for most destination countries (such as those in the EU or North America), here are the answers to the reflection section:
\n
\n
The data shows that in most selected countries, the largest share of water withdrawal is in the agricultural sector.\n
\n
The share of migrants in itself is not sufficient to explain the differences in water use because household consumption (where migrants have the most direct impact) typically represents a much smaller fraction of total water use compared to industry and agriculture.\n
\n
The claim "migrants cause water scarcity" is therefore oversimplified (or misleading), as the data measures total national consumption trends, rather than the direct impact of migrants.\n
\n
For a fairer explanation, we would also need to add data on water management efficiency, climate conditions (drought levels), and industrial/agricultural water intensity.\n
