Water Footprint of Silage Corn, Potato, Sugar Beet and Alfalfa in Van Province
Abstract
The concept of water footprint can defined as the
amount of fresh water utilized in the production or supply of the goods and
services. Evaluation of a region's water footprint can provide the
sustainability and efficient use of clean water resources. Water footprint helps to create better water management
plans and strategies for the future oriented. In this study, we calculated blue
(irrigation) and green (precipitation) water footprint of some important crops
(Silage corn, potato, sugar beet and alfalfa) in Van province. The remainder of
winter precipitation, precipitation and evapotranspiration in vegetation
period, total crop production of the region and total area were used to
calculate water footprint of selected crops. In Van province, the total water
(blue + green) required a ton for silage maize, potato, sugar beet and alfalfa
was 147.4, 230.3, 120.0 and 287.5 m3, respectively. Total water
footprint for 2016 was determined for silage maize, potato, sugar beet and
alfalfa were as 786 674, 1 537 022, 6 909 240 and 638 827 875 m3,
respectively.
