Title
UNESCO - Water Footprint Analysis
(Hydrologic and Economic)
of the Guadania River Basin
Abstract
In most arid and semi-arid countries, water resources management
is an issue that is as important as it is controversial. Today
most water resources experts admit that water conflicts are
not caused by the physical water scarcity, but are mainly due
to poor water management or governance. The virtual water
concept, defined as the volume of water used in the production
of a commodity, good or service, together with the water
footprint (water volume used to produce the goods and services
consumed by a person or community), link a large range of
sectors and issues, providing an appropriate framework to find
potential solutions and contribute to a better management of
water resources, particularly in arid or semi-arid countries.
