Thank you. Another insightful post. One question. Is all water consumption equal in impact? For example, does using water for cooling thermal electricity plants and hydropower - where the water is diverted and reused - have less impact than water used for biomass production or materials processing? Would allowing for any difference in impact affect the outcome of the analysis? Thanks.

Since agriculture is by far the biggest source of water consumption, doesn't it make more sense to promote water efficiency there instead. Perhaps promoting drip irrigation and water pricing.
