Offers a consumer-based indicator of each nationâ€™s water use: the water footprint
Questions whether trade can enhance global water use efficiency, or whether it simply shifts the environmental burden to a distant location
Highlights the hidden link between national consumption and the use of water resources across the globe, identifying the threats facing â€˜water dependentâ€™ countries worldwide
