Water Footprint: a new measurement that we’ll probably hear about quite often in the near future…

The water footprint of a person, company or nation is defined as the total volume of freshwater that is used to produce the commodities, goods and services consumed by the person, company or nation.
The idea of the water footprint is quite similar to the ecological footprint, but focussing on the use of water.

A very interesting poster has been created on the basis of this measurement.
In addition, the design is really nice and has been rewarded on multiple occasions.

Only a few years back if we spoke of leaving a footprint. Immediate thought would go to a walk on the beach or your shoe size. I sort of thought that water would be included in the ecological footprint. But if it can get companies using less and individuals using less water and the nation using less it can only help the planet.So cheers to the water footprint.
