TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified how China's food habits have influenced the requirements for arable land and water between 1981 and 2016 using data collected from multiple sources and projects the amount of land and irrigation water needed to ensure national food security.

TL;DR: The energy and greenhouse gas-related environmental co-benefits of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project (SNWDP) are highlighted and the energy-saving effect of SNWDP on groundwater exploitation based on the groundwater-exploitation reduction program implemented by the Chinese government is evaluated.

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper calculated the changing trend of virtual water (VW) flow related to grain transfer in China, for which three primary crops of China, including rice, wheat and maize, were considered.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper developed a water footprint evaluation framework based on the product life-cycle concept and water footprint assessment methods to assess coal-fired power generation in China, and applied the framework to quantitatively analyze the virtual provincial water consumption by coal fired power generation and its impact on water quality.

TL;DR: This study quantitatively analyzed the evolution trend of water footprint (WF) of major crops and energy products in Northwest China from 2000 to 2015 and revealed the virtual water (VW) transfer pattern with commodity trade and its water resource stress caused by thevirtual water output.
