The Added Value of Water Footprint Assessment for National Water Policy: A Case Study for Morocco
A Water Footprint Assessment is carried out for Morocco, mapping the water footprint of different activities at river basin and monthly scale, distinguishing between surface- and groundwater. The paper aims to demonstrate the added value of detailed analysis of the human water footprint within a country and thorough assessment of the virtual water flows leaving and entering a country for formul...
متن کاملEvaluation of Virtual Water and Water Footprint of Crop Production (Case study: Qaleganj County)
To address the optimal use of available water resources, a revisit of water resource allocation and management is needed. Water use and water footprint of every product varies in different geographical areas due to various climate, agricultural operations and water efficiencies. Thus, more productive management schemes are to be developed. The goal of this study is to assess the virtual water a...
متن کاملConsideration of Water Productivity for Farm Water Management in Different Conditions of Water Availability for Dominant Summer Crops
ABSTRACT- Efficient use of irrigation water for summer crops should be considered seriously due to rare occurrence of precipitation in summer. This research was focused on the assessment of water use efficiency for dominant crops of summer cropping pattern in the study area (i.e., maize and rice) via considering water productivity (WP) with different water management scenarios at farm level at ...
متن کاملA Grey Water Footprint Assessment of Groundwater Chemical Pollution: Case Study in Salento (Southern Italy)
The worsening of groundwater quality is a huge problem for some regions, especially where a karst aquifer system is the most important water resource because of the deficiency of a well-developed superficial water supply. In this study the chemical quality of a deep aquifer of the Salento peninsula (Southern Italy), where a shallow aquifer and an extensive deep aquifer are exploited as a source...
متن کاملComplementarities of water-focused life cycle assessment and water footprint assessment.
T recent past has shown two parallel developments: the water resources community discovered the relevance of supply chain thinking for water resources management and freshwater allocation, while the life cycle assessment (LCA) community recognized the importance of water use and included those related impacts in LCA studies. The water footprint concept was introduced by Arjen Hoekstra as an ind...
