International energy trade impacts on water resource crises: an embodied water flows perspective
TL;DR: Siddiqi and Anadon as discussed by the authors calculated embodied water import and export status of 219 countries from 1992 to 2010 and embodied water flow changes of seven regions over time (1992/2000/2010).
