(2) The different uses of canals and their impact on local landscape, environment and sustainability

(3) The management and improvement of canals to meet energy needs

(4) The importance of canals for regional economies and territorial development, and canals within the European Water Directives

The effect of irrigation water quality was investigated in a commercial mandarin orchard during four growing seasons using fresh water (EC ≈ 1 dS m−1), irrigators’ association water (EC = 1–3 dS m−1) and reclaimed water (RW) (EC ≈ 3 dS m−1).

The Water Footprint of Products es un póster y también una app del Virtual Water Project que muestran cuál es la huella hídrica de diversos productos: alimentos, bebidas, tejidos… definiendo esa huella como el que se necesita para producir cada uno de esos bienes de consumo.
