Virtual water and the Kyoto consensus'
S. Merrett
May 2003
Abstract
The Editor of Water International published in the March 2003 issue a paper by Stephen Merrett containing a critique of the "virtual water" concept as well as replies by Tony Allan and Christopher Lant. This discussion paper is a rejoinder to Allan and Lant that also raises the stakes by considering the relation of "virtual water" to an emerging Kyoto consensus on water resources management.
