Water footprints of specific crops, animal, food products and forest products may typically be better captured by the study of the chains of these products with techniques under frameworks such as life cycle assessment (LCA), given the great heterogeneity in water intensities among most of these ...
Cai et al. (2012) used a regional input–output model to calculate the water footprint in Gansu Province and found a reduction in agricultural water use at the regional level is a key measure for lowering the water footprint of agricultural products. Zeng et al. (2012) studied the water ...
This study reports the results of a water footprint (WF) assessment of five types of textiles commonly used for the production of jeans, including two different fibres (cotton and Lyocell fibre) and five corresponding production methods for spinning, dyeing and weaving. The results show that the...
Water Use, Water Footprint and Virtual Water Trade:水的利用,水足迹和虚拟水贸易 热度: human appropriation of natural capital a comparison of ecological footprint and water footprint analysis:自然资本人力资源的生态足迹与水足迹分析比较 热度:
The young plants coming from nursery represent an input to the agriculture process, thus there is an entrance of indirect water related to irrigation and fertilization in this phase. In nursery facilities, seeds are sown and germinated to be grown in Water footprint accounting For the blue WF,...
Water footprint and virtual water are the hot topics in the field of international water resources research.This paper attempts to use the concept of virtual water and water footprint to calculate virtual water contents in major agricultural products.Furthermore,based on the relationship of production...
the water footprint of an animal product consists of different components: the indirect water footprint of the feed and the direct water footprint related to the drinking water and service water consumed. The water footprints of crops and animal products vary across countries and regions. The wat...
It shows how water footprints are calculated for individual processes and products, as well as for consumers, nations, and businesses. It also includes methods for water footprint sustainability assessment and a library of water footprint response options. The water footprint of a product is the ...
This study employs a Life cycle assessment (LCA) model to analyse the actual performance combined with water footprint (WF) assessment methods. The inextricable trade-offs between three representative energy-producing technologies are explored based on three categories of non-food crops (maize, ...
Assessing the water footprint for the six categories of products, this study found out that, although less than other products, the amount of grapes lost along the supply chain determines a very high percentage of water loss. The tomato supply chain has proved to be the most sustainable in ...
