The water footprint challenge for water resources management in Chilean arid zones

Pablo Álvarez

Water International, 2018, vol. 43, issue 6, 846-859

Abstract: The water footprint concept is difficult to apply to water-shortage conditions because of private management and variability in the water balance. Chilean water law stipulates that water allocation depends on water rights and private organization criteria, according to the basin water supply and not necessarily crop irrigation demand, crop yield or irrigation technology. This paper explores the resultant complications.
