The 32 pages that link to Water footprint, each with the reason it gives.
IrrigationRelated: Crop production makes irrigation a major component of many products' water footprints.
Water scarcityRelated: It reveals demand hidden in food, energy, and traded products.
CottonRelated: Cotton’s water demands vary sharply with climate, irrigation, and farming practices.
DesalinationRelated: Assessing supply choices requires comparing desalinated water with other water footprints.
Groundwater depletionRelated: Footprints can reveal demand linked to depleted aquifers, but basin-specific impacts may be obscured.
GreenhouseRelated: Greenhouse production can reduce water use through precise irrigation, but still requires careful accounting.
DenimRelated: Cotton cultivation and denim finishing can require substantial water resources.
Water securityRelated: It reveals demand embedded in consumption beyond direct household use.
Water conservationRelated: Footprints reveal water use embedded in products beyond direct withdrawals.
Water electrolysisRelated: Electrolysis consumes water, while upstream electricity and hydrogen processing can add further water demands.
Plant milkRelated: Crop choice matters: the water demands of almonds and other ingredients differ.
Water resource managementRelated: Footprint accounting raises questions about how distant consumption should affect local management.
Food loss and wasteRelated: Wasted food also wastes the water used to grow, process, and prepare it.
Ethanol fuelRelated: Crop cultivation and ethanol processing both contribute to the fuel's water demands.
Feed conversion ratioRelated: A low FCR alone does not reveal the water impacts of producing the feed.
Hydrogen productionRelated: Electrolysis and some reforming pathways require water, making local scarcity relevant.
Water consumptionRelated: Its accounting distinguishes water consumed from water withdrawn and returned.
AvocadoRelated: Avocado cultivation can require substantial irrigation, especially in dry regions.
Oat milkRelated: Crop irrigation and manufacturing affect oat milk’s water demands.
Almond milkRelated: Almond cultivation's irrigation demand complicates claims that plant milks are uniformly low-impact.
Bottled waterRelated: It captures water use across bottling, packaging, and distribution.
Enhanced geothermal systemRelated: Fluid losses and water sourcing affect the environmental and operational costs of enhanced systems.
Oil shaleRelated: Processing oil shale can require substantial water, especially in arid deposits.
Toilet paperRelated: Pulping and paper production require water as well as fiber and energy.
Agriculture in Saudi ArabiaRelated: It reveals the water costs of growing crops in a water-scarce country.
Gossypium hirsutumRelated: The crop’s irrigation and processing contribute to debates about the water costs of cotton products.
PepsiCoRelated: Growing ingredients and making beverages give PepsiCo a substantial relationship to water use.
Milk substituteRelated: Water demands vary substantially among crops used for plant-based beverages.
Fresh waterRelated: It reveals how consumption draws on freshwater beyond household taps.
