Human appropriation of natural capital: A comparison of ecological footprint and water footprint analysis (2009, background): “Van Vuuren and Smeets (2000), for example, used local productivities when estimating the EFs of Benin, Bhutan, Costa Rica and the Netherlands.”
Fuzzy input–output model for optimizing eco-industrial supply chains under water footprint constraints (2011, background): “In order to assess the actual water intensity of products and processes, the concepts of virtual (Allan, 1998; Chapagain and Orr, 2009) and water footprint (Hoekstra and Hung, 2002; Chapagain and Hoekstra, 2004) have been introduced.”
Strategic importance of green water in international crop trade (2008, methodology): “There is a growing body of literature focusing on the concept of virtual water and on its potential contribution to saving water, especially in water-short nations (Hoekstra and Hung, 2002; Hoekstra, 2003; Hoekstra and Chapagain, 2008).”
Water saving through international trade of agricultural products (2005, methodology): “As Hoekstra and Hung (2002, 2005) argue, there are three levels of water use efficiency.”
The water footprint of humanity (2011, methodology): “An earlier global study on the WFs of nations was carried out by Hoekstra and Hung (16); another, much more comprehensive study, was done by Hoekstra and Chapagain and reported in a number of subsequent publications (8, 17–20).”
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): “Hoekstra and Hung (2002, 2005) quantified the scale and extent of virtual water crop trade globally while Chapagain and Hoekstra (2003) developed the methodology for similar calculations in the context of trade in livestock and livestock products.”
Water Footprinting: How to Address Water Use in Life Cycle Assessment? (2010, methodology): “Furthermore, the consumption of green water, which is especially relevant in terms of crop cultivation, is only accounted for in the methods virtual water [10], water footprint [11], and Mila i Canals et al.”
Drivers of the virtual water trade (2014, methodology): “Virtual water flows associated to food trade are remarkable and they have been estimated to be as large as 223 3 1012 m3/yr [Hoekstra and Hung, 2002; Chapagain and Hoekstra, 2004; De Fraiture et al., 2004; Oki and Kanae, 2004].”
Water scarcity in the Arabian Peninsula and socio-economic implications (2017, background): “For example, most of the major food exporters have highly productive rain-fed agriculture, while most food importers rely on irrigation or low output rain-fed systems (see Hoekstra and Hung 2002).”
