Fresh water is vital to our daily life while the supply of fresh water is limited. As the world population expands, so does the need for fresh water. There are three different types of water footprint; Green, Blue, and Grey. Green Water footprint refers to the amount of rainwater required for forestry, horticultural and agricultural products. Blue Water footprint refers to the amount of groundwater or surface water from sources such as aquifers, rivers or lakes. This is primarily for domestic water use, industry, and irrigated agriculture. Grey Water refers to the amount of fresh water required to dilute pollutants to meet water quality standards.
