• Water for food: The global virtual water trade network (2011, background): “The vast majority (90%) of global freshwater use is for food production [Shiklomanov, 1997; Oki and Kanae, 2004; Hoekstra and Chapagain, 2008], which is why much attention and research has been devoted to the use of water in agriculture.”
• Assessing regional and global water footprints for the UK (2010, background): “4 The total water footprint has the same definition as in Hoekstra and Chapagain (2008).”
• A review of reverse osmosis membrane materials for desalinationDevelopment to date and future poten (2011, background): “irrigation, and 10 % for industrial use) [40], this plant can supply fresh water to less than 100,000 people.”
• Temporal dynamics of blue and green virtual water trade networks (2012, background): “Thus, globalization in the trade of food commodities has not only alleviated food insecurity, but has also led to a globalization of water resources [Hoekstra and Chapagain, 2008], with potential implications for water security [D’Odorico et al., 2010].”
• The green, blue and grey water footprint of crops and derived crops products (2011, background): “Chapagain and Hoekstra (2004) and Hoekstra and Chapagain (2007, 2008) improved this study in a number of respects, but still did not explicitly distinguish between green and blue water consumption.”
• 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.”
• 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): “Imported virtual water has therefore also been called ̳exogenous water‘ or ̳embedded water‘ [59].”
• National water footprint accounts: the green, blue and grey water footprint of production and consumption (2011, background): “…footprints of nations was carried out by Hoekstra and Hung (2002); a second, much more comprehensive study, was done by Hoekstra and Chapagain and reported in a number of subsequent publications: Chapagain and Hoekstra (2004, 2008), Chapagain et al. (2006) and Hoekstra and Chapagain (2007a, 2008).”
• Virtual water trade flows and savings under climate change (2013, background): “In the literature, this concept is called “virtual water trade”, which refers to the water that is embodied throughout the entire production process of a traded commodity, or the “water footprint” of a particular commodity (Hoekstra and Chapagain, 2008).”
• Methodology and Indicators of Economy‐wide Material Flow Accounting (2011, background): “For water, the question is more complicated because of the numerous recycling flows that play a much larger role than with materials, but efforts are ongoing (see, e.g., Hoekstra and Chapagain 2008).”
