Rinki, hi I suggest you take them down to their local supermarket to look at the labels in the fruit & veg and meat sections to see in which countries the food has been produced. Then search on the web for water stories in those countries (water stress/scarcity). As for what happens in the supply chain between the growers/producers and the supermarket/retailer, you could start by looking at the report which a colleague and I wrote in 2016 called: 'Water management and stewardship: taking stock of corporate water behaviour'. Google and read! (there is a summary at the start). That'll get their student brains ticking over... Regards, Peter
