How much "invisible" water do we consume every day?

Posted Wed, 2012/09/26 - 9:39am by RCAP

Here's a fun an interative website that shows that we actually consume large amounts of "invisible" or virtual water in the food we consume.

Go to the site [1]

Note: This site was created by Europeans, and so units are provided in metric measurements. As a rule of thumb, there are roughly 4 liters in a gallon (the exact conversion is 1 U.S. gallon of liquid = 3.8 liters)

Topics:
- food [2],
- water [3],
- consumption [4],
- virtual [5],
- hidden [6],
- production [7],
- beef [8],
- coffee [9]
