 This study aims to estimate the green, blue, and gray water footprint of wheat production and consumption globally using a high-resolution approach. The assessment is based on a grid-based dynamic water balance model that takes into account daily soil water balance and climatic conditions for each grid cell. The results show that green water accounts for 70% of the global wheat water footprint, blue water accounts for 19%, and gray water accounts for 11%. The study also reveals that about 18% of the water footprint related to wheat production is meant not for domestic consumption but for export. The major portion of virtual water export comes from the USA, Canada, and Australia. Additionally, the study highlights that a relatively large total blue water footprint as a result of wheat production is observed in the Ganges and Indus River basins. Finally, the study shows that about 93% of the water footprint of wheat consumption in Japan lies in other countries, particularly the USA, Australia, and Canada. This article was authored by M. M.
