calculate your water footprint




People use lots of water for drinking, cooking and washing, but even more for producing things such as food, paper, cotton clothes, etc. The water footprint is an indicator of water use that looks at both direct and indirect water use of a consumer or producer. The water footprint of an individual, community or business is defined as the total volume of freshwater that is used to produce the goods and services consumed by the individual or community or produced by the business. (http://www.waterfootprint.org)

You can calculate your personal water footprint using a water footprint calculator. Go to http://www.waterfootprint.org/?page=cal/WaterFootprintCalculator

Remember to put decimals behind a point, not a comma (e.g. write 1.5 and not 1,5).
Post your result and indicate which food category is responsible for the highest consumption of water.

  30. My result is 1504, i think that is because i eat meat almost once a day. In my family we pay attention to the water compsution, in fact we close the rap during the washing dishes and sometime we use less polluting detergents, like more natural procuts such as bicarbonate
