The 'water footprint' of a country is defined as the volume of water needed for the production of goods and services consumed by the inhabitants of the country.
The moose ( Alces alces ) is the largest member of the deer family, characterized by its massive size, long legs, and distinctive broad, palmate antlers found in males. They have a dark brown or black coat and a humped shoulder. Moose are primarily found in the boreal and mixed deciduous forests of North America, Europe, and Asia. They are solitary animals, often found near bodies of water, and are herbivores that feed on leaves, bark, twigs, and aquatic vegetation. Despite their size, moose are strong swimmers and can run up to 35 miles per hour. The moose population in North America is shrinking swiftly. This decrease has been correlated to the opening of roadways and landscapes into this animal's north range. In North America, the moose range includes almost all of Canada and Alaska, the northern part of New England and New York, the upper Rocky Mountains, northern Minnesota and Wisconsin, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and Isle Royale. In 2014-2015, the North American moo
The UK has one of the lowest water footprints in the west despite all those leaking pipes in London and the ageing Victorian infrastructure?
ReplyDeleteWow, I really am surprised.
Eastern and Southern England is where most of the UK's water is used because it is where the most people live and the most arable agricultural area of the country.
It is also one of the driest parts of the country though, with rain falling in the less populated North and West.
Some people have suggested a water network using the existing canal system to transfer water from the North and West where it is in massive surplus to the South and East where it is sometimes in deficit.
