Virtual water trade: an assessment of water use efficiency in the international food trade (2006, background): “Plants other than food crop (which often have lower direct economic value of water use) are the major competitive users of this water (Yang and Zehnder, 2002).”
“Virtual water”: An unfolding concept in integrated water resources management (2007, background): “…flows is extended to other commodities, such as animal products and livestock, cotton, and some reference consuming goods, such as a cup of tea and coffee [Zehnder, 1997; Yang and Zehnder, 2002; Chapagain and Hoekstra, 2003, 2007; Chapagain et al., 2006b; Renault, 2003; Zimmer and Renault, 2003].”
Drought and food security in the middle east: An analytical framework (2020, background): “Food demand of a region may highly rely on population size and per capita food consumption (Yang and Zehnder, 2002).”
Virtual land use and agricultural trade: Estimating environmental and socio-economic impacts (2006, methodology): “The term bvirtual waterQ is used to describe the volume of water embodied in traded food crops (Allan, 1999; Yang and Zehnder, 2002).”
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): “As another example, Egypt, with water self-sufficiency high on the political agenda and with a total water withdrawal inside the country of 65 BCM per year, still has an estimated net virtual water import of 10–20 BCM per year (Yang and Zehnder 2002 , Chapagain and Hoekstra 2003 , Zimmer and Renau”
Water footprints of nations (2004, background): “…high on the political agenda and with a total water withdrawal inside the country of 65 billion cubic metre per year, still has an estimated net virtual water import of 10 to 20 billion cubic metre per year (Yang and Zehnder, 2002; Chapagain and Hoekstra, 2003a; Zimmer and Renault, 2003).”
