A Critical Analysis of Virtual Water, Dr. Hamed Ghoddusi

In this conversation, Hamed Ghoddusi analyzes and examines the state of virtual water in Iran and the world. Virtual water is the amount of water used in the production of goods and services. Conditions, culture, lifestyle and diet (carnivorous or vegetarian), place of production, management, and planning all affect the amount and volume of actual water in a commodity, and its quantity for a given commodity varies across different regions of the world.

To calculate the virtual water content of products (agricultural, industrial, etc.), it is necessary to consider in the calculations all water resources that have directly or indirectly (whether rain, surface water, or groundwater) contributed to the production of the product.
