The country’s position relative to its water sources exacerbated since its trade liberalization in the early 1990’s, which calls for a future national water crisis. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Global Virtual Water Trade, 1990-2015: Assessing Virtual Water Trade Patterns between High Income, Upper-Middle Income, Lower-Middle Income and Low Income Countries
