For baths and showers, toilets, laundry, cleaning or food. Figures that are far from reality according to the Water FootPrint Network (WFPN).
The NGO had, in the past, calculated the water footprint of each Belgian at 7,400 liters of water per day. A necessarily indirect consumption: the making of jeans would require, according to the WFPN, 10,000 liters of water, that of a T-shirt almost 2,700 l, a kilo of meat almost 15,000 l…
Finally, the Belgian would consume almost twice as much as the world average. “Belgium is therefore at the same level as the Netherlands or the USA, but well above the United Kingdom or Germany”, notes the Professional Union of Public Operators of the Water Cycle in Wallonia, Aquawal.
