The two graphs below show the population growth and the usage of fresh water in the United States.

Use the drop-down menus to correctly complete the analysis of the graphs.

After 1980, the volume of groundwater and other fresh water withdrawn __________ as the U.S. population __________. This means that water use became __________ efficient after 1980.
