SCIENCE
CALCULATE YOUR WATER FOOTPRINT
Fresh water is vital to life, but as the world’s population grows, so does its use of water. It
takes water – a lot of it – to produce food, house hold works, to make energy and to
manufacture consumer products. This is what’s known as virtual water and it’s
important to do an assessment of water patterns at different levels of water use.
To calculate this use of virtual water at different levels is called Water Footprint.
The concept created by Dr. Arjen Hoekstra, Water Footprints is an environmental
indicator, to understand the water use patterns, from the individual level to all the way to
the national level. They also account for the amount of water contaminated during
manufacturing and production.
