The Embodied Water activity raises awareness of the hidden yet significant portion of our water footprint – specifically, the water required to grow, manufacture, and transport the products we commonly use and eat. In this activity, students will classify different everyday items and match them with the amount of embodied water they contain.
Water Footprint | Water Use | Virtual Water | Conservation | Life Cycle
- Introducing the concept of hidden/virtual/embodied water
- How much water it takes to produce something
- Understanding the extent of our true water footprint
