The water footprint of humanity
TL;DR: The study illustrates the global dimension of water consumption and pollution by showing that several countries heavily rely on foreign water resources and that many countries have significant impacts on water consumptionand pollution elsewhere.
The water footprint of humanity
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified and mapped the water footprint (WF) of humanity at a high spatial resolution and reported on consumptive use of rainwater (green WF), ground and surface water (blue WF) and volumes of water polluted (gray WF).
