Water in production and products
The water used for production, known as “virtual” water, constitutes 95% of human water use. As pressure on the world’s water supply rises, recognition of the amount of water used within each step of production could play an important role in managing water use. This POSTnote examines how virtual water use is calculated and its application within the global economy.
