What is the average depth of water applied?arrow_forwardAs the human population grows and as the average rate of resource use per person rises, water shortages in many parts of the world are becoming more severe and, thus, more of a global concern. It is predicted that humans will have no cholce but to reduce their water footprints in the near future. A water footprint is an estimate of how much water it takes each year to meet the needs of a person, a population, or a country. Currently, the total water footprint of U.S. citizens is 2,487 cubic meters per year per capita (m/yr/ca). This is equivalent to 657,000 gallons/yr/ca, or more than 16,000 bathtubfuls of water per year!
