Waterfootprint

Waterfootprint picture here

I’m not talking about kabonfootprint. This not related at all. This image is ilustration of the “water footprint” of the US, in cubic meters per capita, according to Waterfootprint.org

The water footprint of a nation shows the total volume of water that is used to produce the goods and services consumed by the inhabitants of the nation. Since not all goods consumed in one particular country are produced in that country, the water footprint consists of two parts: use of domestic water resources and use of water outside the borders of the country. The water footprint includes both the water withdrawn from surface and groundwater and the use of soil water (in agricultural production).
