An academic analysis with recommendations for water management and planning at the basin scale: a review of water planning in the Segura River Basin
Water resources management is particularly challenging in water-scarce basins, where low water availability is combined with a potential water demand exceeding the supply capacity of the natural system. This is the case ... -
Different approaches to assessing pollution load: the case of nitrogen-related grey water footprint of barley and soybean in Argentina
Agriculture is among the main causes of water pollution. Currently, 75% of global anthropogenic nitrogen (N) loads come from leaching/runoff from cropland. The grey water footprint (GWF) is an indicator of water resource ... -
Food banks against climate change, a solution that works: a case study in Navarra, Spain
Worldwide, more than 1.3 billion tonnes of food are wasted each year, which is equivalent to releasing 4.4 Gt of CO2 equivalents (CO2e). In this context, the Food Bank of Navarra (FBN) annually avoids the waste of ... -
Grey water footprint as an indicator for diffuse nitrogen pollution: the case of Navarra, Spain
Nitrogen is an essential element for plant growth, while its application and associated pollution is a worldwide concern. Generally, diffuse source pollution and its impacts on ecosystem health are difficult to monitor and ... -
The impact of the territorial gradient and the irrigation water price on agricultural production along the first phase of the Navarra Canal in Spain
Water is an issue in Spain, where it is generally scarce, and its availability is highly variable in different areas and times, particularly in agriculture, the main water consumer. Water pricing is one of the policy ... -
The importance of irrigation supply chains within the water footprint: an example from the Pakistani part of the Indus basin
Many environmental studies have shown that a systems approach, including complete supply chains, is relevant for the assessment of the consequences of production and consumption on natural resources. This can also be applied ... -
Indicators and recommendations for assessing sustainable healthy diets
Research coupling human nutrition and sustainability concerns is a rapidly developing field, which is essential to guide governments' policies. This critical and comprehensive review analyzes indicators and approaches to ... -
The role of the food banks in saving freshwater resources through reducing food waste: the case of the Food Bank of Navarra, Spain
In the year 2011, the FAO estimated that food loss and waste reached one third of the total food produced worldwide. Since then, numerous studies have been published characterizing this problem and reflecting on its ... -
Tracking water for human activities: from the ivory tower to the ground
Water policy requires well established metrics for success. Precise metrics allow for quantifying progress and adjusting processes to produce the desired outcomes. We analyze the different schools of thought, nomenclatures ... -
Water footprint and virtual water trade of maize in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina
Agriculture is the largest fresh water consuming sector, and maize is the most produced and consumed crop worldwide. The water footprint (WF) methodology quantifies and evaluates the water volumes consumed and polluted by ... -
Water footprint and virtual water trade: the birth and growth of a new research field in Spain
The growth in the number of studies applying and expanding the concepts of the water footprint and virtual water trade in Spain has generated a wealth of lessons and reflections about the scarcity, allocation, productive ... -
Water footprint of the water cycle of Gran Canaria and Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain)
When it comes to exploiting natural resources, islands have limitations due to the quantity of these resources and the potential for harm to the ecosystem if exploitation is not done in a sustainable manner. This article ...
