Globalisation of Water: Opportunities and Threats of Virtual Water Trade - Chapagain, A.K. (UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education, Delft, the Netherlands)

This book shows the water footprint of nations, a consumer based indicator of water use which can be used as a tool to understand the impact of local consumption on global water resources and the dependency of any country on external water resources.
