Virtual water trade: an assessment of water use efficiency in the international food trade (2006, methodology): “The estimation by Hoekstra and Hung (2003, 2005) shows that the water productivity of wheat is mostly over 1 kg/m 3 in the major exporting countries in North America and Western Europe in comparison to below 0.6 kg/m 3 in many countries in Africa and Central Asia.”
Human appropriation of natural capital: A comparison of ecological footprint and water footprint analysis (2009, background): “An important question all the time is where and how nations or the global society as a whole can save water (Hoekstra, 2003; Oki and Kanae, 2004; De Fraiture et al. 2004; Wichelns, 2004; Hoekstra and Hung, 2005; Chapagain et al., 2006a).”
Assessing regional and global water footprints for the UK (2010, background): “Most studies on virtual water trade have been carried out mainly for the water embedded in agricultural products associated with food security (e.g. Allan, 1998, 2002; Fishelson, 1994; Hoekstra and Hung, 2005).”
Temporal dynamics of blue and green virtual water trade networks (2012, background): “Even though we only consider 58 commodities in this analysis, these are the staple food commodities that account for over 60% of global calorie consumption [FAOSTAT, 2011] and embody the dominant virtual water flows [Hoekstra and Hung, 2005; Hanjra and Qureshi, 2010].”
“Virtual water”: An unfolding concept in integrated water resources management (2007, background): “Currently, the most accepted definition of virtual water is the water required for the production of commodities [Zimmer and Renault, 2003; Merrett, 2003; Oki and Kanae, 2004; Hoekstra and Hung, 2005].”
Agricultural trade and virtual land use: The case of China's crop trade (2013, background): “…in traded products, especially with regards to land nd water use and the linked environmental and socio-economic mpacts (Cowell and Parkinson, 2003; Hoekstra and Hung, 2005; ürtenberger et al., 2006; Coley et al., 2009; Kissinger and Rees, 009; Moran et al., 2009; Kissinger and Gottlieb, 2010;…”
The Water-Energy-Food Nexus in East Asia: A tele-connected value chain analysis using inter-regional input-output analysis (2018, background): “Early WEFN publications typically only analyzed two of the three subsystems in a nexus relationship: water-food nexus (see Brown and Halweil, 1998; Hoekstra and Hung, 2005; Dalin et al., 2014; Antonelli and Tamea, 2015; Vanham, 2016), food-energy nexus (see Karkacier and Goktolga, 2005; Abdelradi…”
Water saving through international trade of agricultural products (2005, unknown): “The virtual water content of a product is calculated using the methodology as developed by Hoekstra and Hung (2002, 2005) and Chapagain and Hoekstra (2003, 2004).”
Water scarcity and the impact of improved irrigation management: a computable general equilibrium analysis (2011, background): “One common suggestion to achieve water security in a waterscarce country is to import goods that require water for their production, rather than producing them domestically (Allan, 2001; Hoekstra and Hung, 2005; Zimmer and Renault, 2003).”
The water footprints of Morocco and the Netherlands: Global water use as a result of domestic consumption of agricultural commodities (2007, methodology): “Global virtual water flows were first calculated by Hoekstra and Hung (2002, 2005) , Zimmer and Renault (2003), Oki et al. (2003), Chapagain and Hoekstra (2004, in press) and De Fraiture et al. (2004).”
THE INS AND OUTS OF WATER USE – A REVIEW OF MULTI-REGION INPUT–OUTPUT ANALYSIS AND WATER FOOTPRINTS FOR REGIONAL SUSTAINABILITY ANALYSIS AND POLICY (2011, methodology): “National VW use has been measured as blue water use calculated from actual water withdrawal (Hoekstra and Hung, 2005 ).”
