Descriere
With increasing trade between nations and continents, water is more and more often used to produce goods that are exported. Can international trade be a tool to enhance global water use efficiency, or is it a means of shifting the environment burden to a distant location? The water footprint of nations is a consumer-based indicator of water use which reveals the impacts of local consumption on global water resources and the dependency of any country on external water resources.
