xi ‘Virtual water’ refers to the amount of water that is used by one country by consuming goods produced somewhere else. At country level, this water is neither accounted for in the population’s consumption nor in the country’s water demand. In the countries were the goods are produced, this ‘virtual water’ is subtracted to the local consumption. As this ‘virtual water’ is often not accounted for, the water balance for these producing countries might not capture correctly the sources of shortages.
