Global unsustainable virtual water flows in agricultural trade (2019, background): “In the last decade, many studies have shown that some of the world’s major agricultural baskets rely on unsustainable water use for irrigation (Gleick and Palaniappan 2010, Konikow 2011, Gleeson et al 2012, Scanlon et al 2012, Kummu et al 2016, Mekonnen and Hoekstra 2016).”
