water footprint

WATER FOOTPRINT


This is a bar graphic that shows the average of water that we consume. We think that food is the most important thing that gives us strength and energy. The second column show us the measurement of domestic water ( water machine, dishwasher...) that is 453 cubic metres a year. And finally the third column show us the quantity of water that we spend a year  in industrial water , that is 615 m3 a year.


Blue Water Footprint : The amount of surface water and groundwater to make a product incorporated into a product or taken from one body of water and returned to another, or returned at a different time. Irrigated agriculture, industry and domestic water use can each have a blue water footprint.  









Green Water Footprint : The amount of rainwater required (evaporated or used directly) to make a product. It is particularly relevant for agricultural, horticultural and forestry products.



Grey Water Footprint : The amount of freshwater required to mix and dilute pollutants enough to maintain water quality according to certain standards (like the ones established in the US Clean Water Act) as a result of making a product.
