Using the water footprint concept, this impactful book aids our
understanding of how we can reduce water consumption and pollution
to sustainable levels. Since the publication of the first edition,
the question of how to reduce our water footprint has become even
more urgent. Freshwater scarcity is increasingly perceived as a
global systemic risk and overconsumption of water is widespread.
The water footprint, a concept founded by the author, is an
indicator of direct and indirect freshwater use by a consumer or
producer that can be used to analyze water usage along supply
chains and assess the sustainability, efficiency and fairness of
our water use. This new edition is fully revised and updated to
reflect continued developments in this rapidly growing field of
knowledge. New chapters are added covering the history of the water
footprint concept; the environmental footprint of the human species
versus planetary boundaries; and the human right to water as a
foundation to equitable sharing. All other chapters are fully
revised with new findings, applications and references, including
major new research on energy, vegetarian diets and intelligent
water allocation over competing demands. The Water Footprint of
Modern Consumer Society is a key textbook for students of
interdisciplinary water studies and those taking other related
courses within the environmental sciences. It will also be of
interest to those working in the governmental sector, environmental
and consumer organizations, the business sector and UN
institutions, where there is growing interest in the water
footprint concept.
