The water footprint is defined as “the total volume of freshwater that is used to produce the goods and services consumed by an individual or community.” From: Food Safety and Human Health, 2019 About this pageSet alert Also in subject areas: Earth and Planetary Sciences Economics, Econometr...
We do this by using the water footprint, which measures both and distinguishes between the consumption of green and blue water resources. This paper thus combines green and blue water footprint accounting for urban green spaces. Whereas the water footprint concept has been applied to a variety ...
Water plays a major role in food production,and as a result,food waste translates to a large amount of water wastage.All foods have a water footprint,the direct and indirect water that goes into producing a certain food,although some footprints are larger than others.In ...

assess water footprint in this study. 2.1. Measuring the impact of crop cultivation on the quantity of water resources: the blue and green water footprints The impacts of potato growing in the Manawatu region of New Zealand, on local water resources, were assessed using the hydro- logical wate...
The proton-exchange membrane water electrolyzer (PEMWE) is regarded as one of the most efficient devices for green hydrogen production because of its small footprint, high current density, and fast response1,2,3,4. However, the instability of anode catalysts has extremely hindered the large-scal...
This paper is a Colombian case study that calculates the total water footprint (blue, green, and grey) for heavy crude production (11.5 average API gravity) occurring in three fields, located in the Magdalena watershed. In this case study, the highest direct blue footprint registers 0.19 m3/...
However, the water scarcity footprint results showed that the second rice cultivation in watersheds, like in Chao Phraya and Tha Chin in the central region, need to be focused for improving the irrigation water use efficiency. The alternate wetting and drying (AWD) method was found to be a ...
soil, vegetation type and human activities, for various ecological monitoring activities, and is generally regarded as an important factor that provides a comprehensive evaluation of ecosystem status and services, including productivity capability, habitat, and wildlife, and e...
grey-water footprint and the nitrate loadings from the production system to identify improvement options that would reduce the impact on water quality. 2. Methodology A life-cycle based approach was used to assess freshwater use and its impacts along the potato production chain. The system boundary...
