The future of food — Scenarios and the effect on natural resource use in agriculture in 2050 (2014, methodology): “Water use in agriculture in the year 2005 was modeled at a global use of 6019 km3 per year, which is somewhat lower than the estimate made by the Water Footprint Network of 6189km3 per year (Hoekstra and Chapagain, 2008).”
The Global Water Grabbing Syndrome (2018, background): “(Hoekstra and Chapagain, 2008), while crop production remains often limited by water scarcity and lack of irrigation infrastructure (e.g., Müller and Lotze-Campen, 2012).”
Evolving water science in the Anthropocene (2013, background): “…water trade does not only result in national water savings for the importing countries, but also that it can result in a global water saving as well, namely when the trade occurs from a region with high water productivity to a region with low water productivity (Hoekstra and Chapagain, 2008).”
Tracing distant environmental impacts of agricultural products from a consumer perspective (2011, methodology): “Our approach can improve existing analytical tools such as ecological footprint analysis, water footprint analysis and concepts to link the human appropriation of net primary production to consumption patterns (Kitzes et al., 2009; Hoekstra and Chapagain, 2008; Erb et al., 2009).”
The water footprint of bioenergy (2009, methodology): “In the most extreme cases, this study found crop water requirements that were a factor of 2 different from earlier studies (12, 13, 27), whereas at other times the results were similar.”
Biofuel scenarios in a water perspective: the global blue and green water footprint of road transport in 2030 (2012, background): “The same distinction (i.e. blue, green) is also made in water usage and applies to all products and services we consume, including our energy (Hoekstra & Chapagain, 2008; Gerbens-Leenes et al., 2008).”
A system of systems approach to energy sustainability assessment: Are all renewables really green? (2015, background): “Water footprint, defined as the total amount of freshwater used o produce different products (here, energies) (Hoekstra and Hung, 002; Hoekstra and Chapagain, 2007, 2008), is a reliable metric for valuating water use efficiency.”
Drivers of the virtual water trade (2014, background): “This can contribute to increase the efficiency in the use of the world’s water resources [Hoekstra and Chapagain, 2008; Konar et al., 2012] and to prevent water crisis from degenerating into famine, water wars and massive migrations of people.”
Reserves and trade jointly determine exposure to food supply shocks (2016, background): “…with the exportation and externalization of environmental impacts (Galloway et al 2007, O’Bannon et al 2014), virtual water and land trade (Hoekstra and Chapagain 2008, Fader et al 2011), and the overall geographic disconnection between consumers and the environment that supports them…”
Human appropriation of natural capital: A comparison of ecological footprint and water footprint analysis (2009, methodology): “Reducing water footprints through adjusting consumption patterns is one option, but reducing water footprints by producing where the climate is most suitable and by using water more efficiently are two other important options to be considered (Hoekstra and Chapagain, 2007a, 2008).”
The danger of naturalizing water policy concepts: Water productivity and efficiency discourses from field irrigation to virtual water trade (2012, background): “(Hoekstra and Chapagain, 2008, p.142, emphasis added) The ideas of allocation efficiencies at a global level are presented as ‘neutral’ concepts.”
The water footprint of Indonesian provinces related to the consumption of crop products (2009, methodology): “Finally, the grey water footprint of a product is an indicator of freshwater pollution that can be associated with the production of a product over its full supply chain (Chapagain et al., 2006; Hoekstra and Chapagain, 2008; Nazer et al., 2008; Van Oel et al., 2009).”
Going against the flow: A critical analysis of inter-state virtual water trade in the context of India’s National River Linking Program (2009, background): “…and Hoekstra , 2003; Oki et al., 2003; Renault, 2003; Zimmer and Renault, 2003; De Fraiture et al., 2004; Chapagain et al., 2005; Chapagain, 2006; Hoekstra and Chapagain, 2007, 2008) have investigated the role that international trade in virtual water can play in attaining global water saving…”
