Paper Title
Estimating An Individual's Water Footprint: A Review-Based Study
Authors
Mr.Nage Rushikesh Lakshman
Keywords
Water footprint, direct consumption, indirect consumption, water scarcity, sustainable water use, urban versus rural, water conservation, India
Abstract
Water scarcity has emerged as a critical challenge, especially in water-stressed nations such as India. Effective water management requires understanding both direct uses (drinking, bathing, cleaning) and indirect uses (products, energy, diet). The concept of the water footprint measures both, revealing the hidden impacts of consumption.
This study evaluates individual water footprints in rural and urban India using a questionnaire and the Water Footprint Network calculator. Results show indirect consumption, especially from diet, dominates over direct use. Meat and dairy intake raise footprints, while vegetarian diets lower them. Urban lifestyles, influenced by packaged foods and modern facilities, increase overall consumption compared to rural patterns. The findings stress the need for awareness, behavior change, rainwater harvesting, and efficient household fixtures.
