67% relates to the consumption of agricultural goods,
31% to the consumption of industrial goods, and
2% to domestic water use.
89% of the water footprint is external, whereas just 11% is internal
the re-export of imported products amounts to 56%.

Water Footprint and Inclusive Innovation
> In the development and implementation of new ideas which aspire to create opportunities that enhance social and economic wellbeing for low income members of society these inclusive innovations need to take into account the water footprint: ‘save’ domestic water sources
> National policy makers in water-scarce countries are likely to be more
interested in national water savings than in global water savings.
• Mexico, for example, imports maize and in doing so it saves 12 billion m3/yr of its
national water resources. This is the volume of water that it would need
domestically if it had to produce the imported maize within the country.

“The MDG drinking water target, which calls for halving the
proportion of the population without sustainable access to safe drinking water between 1990 and 2015, was met in 2010, five years
