Remember! Every one of us can contribute to reducing the water footprint

• the water footprint is the sum of direct and indirect water consumption by the consumer. It applies to products whose production requires water
• direct water consumption covers all daily activities such as: drinking, bathing, washing, cooking
• indirect water consumption relates to all production stages at which water is needed. Taking vegetables as an example, this is the proper irrigation of agricultural fields, etc.
• reduce your water footprint: save water during everyday use, buy products with the lowest water footprint, reduce consumption, give a second life to items you are no longer using and do not waste food
• 1 kg of chocolate requires 17,196 litres of water to make
• the production of 1 kg of beef requires 15,415 litres of water
• one pair of jeans requires as much as 9,982 litres of water
• the average water footprint of a typical household in Poland is estimated at 350 to 400 litres per day. In Ethiopia, this is 15 litres
• most water is used by the agricultural sector. It accounts for as much as 92% of the annual global water consumption. Industry is second at 4.4%. Household water consumption represents 3.6% of total global consumption
