简介
This book shows how the water footprint concept can be used to quantify and
map the water use behind consumption and how it can guide reduction of water
use to a sustainable level. With a number of case studies, it illustrates
water use along supply chains and that water consumption at one place is often
linked to water use at another. For example, it is calculated that it takes
15,000 litres of water to produce 1 kg of beef, or 8,000 litres of water to
produce a pair of jeans. The book shows that imports of water-intensive
products can highly benefit water-scarce countries, but also that this creates
a dependency on foreign water resources.
