Water Offsets and Water Credits

Understanding and Reducing Your Virtual Water Footprint

In today's world, understanding our water consumption goes beyond what we use at the tap. It's also about recognizing the hidden water impact embedded in the products and services we rely on every day.

Virtual Water Footprint

What is a Virtual Water Footprint?

A virtual water footprint measures the total amount of water used across the production of goods and services—including water used indirectly through supply chains. It accounts for the full lifecycle of a product, from agriculture and raw materials to manufacturing, processing, and transportation.

When we calculate virtual water footprints, we uncover where water is being used (often heavily) behind the scenes. That insight helps individuals and organizations make smarter decisions to reduce water waste, improve efficiency, and support more sustainable practices.
