The meme is a humorous comparison between the amount of water used for agriculture and the amount of water used for other purposes. The image shows a graph with a massive blue block representing the 79% of water used for agriculture, while a tiny blue line represents the 1% of water used for other purposes. The text at the top of the image reads, "1.9 trillion gallons of water: Amount consumed within the Colorado River basin in a typical year."
