Opportunity costs of virtual water: a justification for green-water based agricultural capacity growth for economic, social and environmental sustainability
- Abstract:
-
Traditional development of water and agriculture based on irrigation tends to lead to over-extraction of environmentally-derived water as water use rises to an unsustainable peak. This behaviour is traditionally remedied by maintaining agricultural production while re-investing in efficiency and alternative water resources.
