ChapagainMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute2019Basel, Switzerland :MDPI,2019.1 electronic resource (202 p.)9783039210381 3039210386 Water Footprint Assessment is a young research field that considers how freshwater use, scarcity, and pollution relate to consumption, production, and trade patterns. This book presents a wide range of studies within this new field. It is argued that collective and coordinated action-at different scale levels and along all stages of commodity supply chains-is necessary to bring about more sustainable, efficient, and equitable water use. The presented studies range from farm to catchment and country level, and show how different actors along the supply chain of final commodities can contribute to more sustainable water use in the chain.History of engineering and technologybicssceffective raincabbageurban areawater footprint benchmarksvalue additionthresholdHaihe River Basinland footprintirrigation intensityenvironmental sustainabilitywater resourcesvirtual water tradeland use changeblue water footprintembedded resource accountingmulti-level governancesoil typecattlecrop water demandlettucemodellingsustainabilitywater scarcity footprintwater scarcitygreen water availabilityroot water uptakewater footprintwater productivitySouth Africaeconomic land productivitycrop tradeAmazonCerradowheat-breadinternational tradelife cycle analysisbroccolivalue chainoil palm (Eleasis guineensis)crop choicewater accountingretailMalawiriver basin managementSteenkoppies Aquifercarrotsconsumerswheatsilksoybeanwater footprint assessmentCSRsericulturefood self-sufficiencywater managementwater footprint accountingpackhouseeconomic water productivitiesgroundwaterconsumptionCentral Europemaizebeetrooteconomic water productivityMato Grossoregulationfood securitywater savingcrop agesHistory of engineering and technologyHoekstra Arjen Y1299431Van Oel PieterChapagain Ashok KScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910346673803321Progress in Water Footprint Assessment4318162UNINA
