other | Throughout his career, Hoekstra's work gained international media attention and he was consistently referred to as an expert on the topic of water resource issues. | ||||||
other | The water footprint shows the extent of water use in relation to consumption by people. | ||||||
other | The water footprint of an individual, community or business is defined as the total volume of fresh water used to produce the goods and services consumed by the individual or community or produced by the business. | ||||||
other | Water use is measured in water volume consumed (evaporated) and/or polluted per unit of time. | ||||||
other | A water footprint can be calculated for any well-defined group of consumers (e.g., an individual, family, village, city, province, state or nation) or producers (e.g., a public organization, private enterprise or economic sector), for a single process (such as growing rice) or for any product or service. | ||||||
other | Traditionally, water use has been approached from the production side, by quantifying the following three columns of water use: water withdrawals in the agricultural, industrial, and domestic sector. | ||||||
other | While this does provide valuable data, it is a limited way of looking at water use in a globalised world, in which products are not always consumed in their country of origin. | ||||||
other | International trade of agricultural and industrial products in effect creates a global flow of virtual water, or "embodied water" (akin to the concept of embodied energy). | ||||||

other | The water footprint is a geographically explicit indicator, not only showing volumes of water use and pollution, but also the locations. | ||||||
