TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper quantified energy consumption in 9 different wastewater treatment plants in south China, with different treatment processes, objects, and capacities, and found that higher capacity and appropriate technology of the WWTPs will result in higher gray water footprint reduction.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed the use of water footprint instead of conventional indicators (fresh water consumption per tonne of steel or water consumption (WC) per tonme of steel) for the iron and steel industry.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a conceptual nexus analytical framework based on the combination of different environmental footprints to assess how universities, as an example of a small community, interact with the hydrological cycle, energy resources and climate through their operations and food procurement.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper analyzed the feasibility of energy self-sufficient wastewater treatment plants through scenario analysis, and showed that combined heat and power and solar photovoltaic cells technology can generate energy for WWTPs.

TL;DR: This work highlighted the common grounds and differences among water footprint methodologies developed by the Water Footprint Network (WFN) and life cycle assessment (LCA) community and emphasized pitfalls between these common grounds.
