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): “Several researchers (Hoekstra and Hung, 2002; Hoekstra, 2003; Chapagain 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 ”
The Global Dimension of Water Governance: Why the River Basin Approach Is No Longer Sufficient and Why Cooperative Action at Global Level Is Needed (2010, background): “Even Egypt, with water self-sufficiency high on the political agenda and with a total water withdrawal within the country of 65 billion cubic meters per year, still has an estimated annual net virtual water import of 10 to 20 billion cubic meters [61,62].”
Virtual water trade : A quantification of virtual water flows between nations in relation to international crop trade (2003, methodology): “For the purpose of calculating the virtual water content of products, Zimmer and Renault (2003) make a distinction between primary products (crops), processed products (such as sugar, vegetable oil and alcoholic beverages), transformed products (including animal products), by-products (such as…”
Water saving through international trade of agricultural products (2005, unknown): “Zimmer and Renault (2003) estimated this as 1340 Gm 3 /yr related to the international trade in crop and livestock products in the year 2000.”
The global component of freshwater demand and supply: an assessment of virtual water flows between nations as a result of trade in agricultural and industrial products (2008, background): “The studies indicate that the global sum of international virtual water flows must exceed 1000 BCM per year (Hoekstra and Hung 2002, 2005, Chapagain and Hoekstra 2003, Zimmer and Renault 2003, Oki and Kanae 2004, De Fraiture et al. 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).”
Virtual water trade: an assessment of water use efficiency in the international food trade (2006, background): “In the virtual water literature, the amount of water required for producing a unit of crop is termed “virtual water content” in m 3 /kg. (Hoekstra and Hung, 2003; Zimmer and Renault, 2003).”
