Thank you so much for this very helpful and current report from Twente, Markus! Just learned from someone else that, while there are water footprints, the quality of water (polluted and/or unstructured) vs. structured (near pure) can have a significant impact on the water required for the same yield. Not sure how this will impact benchmarks, but it's great motivation to clean up polluted waterways!
