Sprievodca krok za krokom
- 1Calculate blue water (surface/groundwater), green (rain), gray (contamination)
- 2Typical diet: 2000-5000 liters/day, beef heaviest (15,000 L per kg)
- 3Identify high-impact water use and reduction opportunities
Worked Examples
Vstup
Daily diet with beef, dairy, grains
Výsledok
Water footprint ~3500 L/day (~1.3 million L/year)
Mostly from animal agriculture
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ✕Ignoring production water beyond direct use
- ✕Treating all water equally (local scarcity matters)
