Global unsustainable virtual water flows in agricultural trade (2019, background): “While the virtual water trade associated with agricultural commodities (Konar et al 2011, Hoekstra and Mekonnen 2012), and the regions of unsustainable irrigation have been extensively investigated andmapped (Rosa et al 2018a), the globalized dimension of unsustainable irrigation, the loss of…”
The Global Food‐Energy‐Water Nexus (2018, background): “Through the intensification of trade, some regions have become strongly dependent on food produced with water resources they do not control because they are located elsewhere (Chapagain & Hoekstra, 2008; Konar et al., 2011).”
Temporal dynamics of blue and green virtual water trade networks (2012, methodology): “[31] It is known that the total volume of virtual water traded follows a power law relationship when compared to the number of trade partners, i.e., s / ak [Konar et al., 2011; Suweis et al., 2011].”
Global virtual water trade and the hydrological cycle: patterns, drivers, and socio-environmental impacts (2019, methodology): “Translation for a single year of detailed trade data of 58 major crop commodities from the Food and Agricultural Organization to the network of VWT allowed for the analysis of the topological properties of this network using methods from network theory (Konar et al 2011).”
