 Wheat is a staple food crop grown around the world, requiring significant amounts of water for its cultivation. This study assessed the global water footprint of wheat production and consumption, finding that it requires approximately 108 billion cubic meters of water annually. Of this amount, 70% is green water, 19% is blue water, and 11% is grey water. The majority of the water footprint related to wheat production is located in the Ganges and Indus River Basin, which are already experiencing water scarcity issues. Additionally, the study found that 18% of the water footprint related to wheat production is exported primarily to the United States, Canada, and Australia. Furthermore, the study found that 55% of the virtual water exported from these countries is from the United States, Canada, and Australia. This article was authored by M. M. McConan and A. Y.
