The title of the graph is "Chart 2.2 Major wastewater discharges, 2009".
This is a column clustered chart.
There are in total 4 categories in the horizontal axis. The vertical axis starts at 0 and ends at 30,000 with ticks every 5,000 points.
There are 1 series in this graph.
The vertical axis is "millions of tonnes / millions of cubic metres".
The horizontal axis is "Major wastewater discharges".
The title of series 1 is "Major wastewater discharges".
The minimum value is 620 and it corresponds to "Mineral extraction".
The maximum value is 25,838 and it corresponds to "Thermal-electric power generation".
This chart has a note which reads "Note(s): Mineral extraction - Excluding sand, gravel, clay, and ceramic and refractory minerals mining and quarrying and oil and gas. Thermal-electric power generation - Defined as fossil-fuel electric power generation and nuclear electric power generation. Much of the wastewater from both municipalities and industries is treated before release. Data for municipal wastewater are from 2006 and data for industrial wastewater are from 2009.Source(s): Statistics Canada, CANSIM tables 153-0047 and 153-0079 (accessed September 7, 2012).
