8 Definition & Concept 1. Concepts of Virtual Water and Water Footprint Virtual water refers to the water volume embodied in a product (Allan,1998). Water footprint has a broader scope and refers not only to the volume of water, but also to the types of water (green, grey or blue) used, and when and where the water was used. i.

11 Methodology 1. The methodology in this study consist of literature review and statistical data analysis. 2. Agricultural products selected in the study Cereals Vegetables Fruits Roots and tubers Livestock Wheat Rice (husked, milled, broken) Cereals Maize Oats Maize Data source: Mekonnen and Hoekstra (2010) Cabbages and other brassicas Asparagus Lettuce and chicory Spinach Tomatoes Cauliflowers and broccoli Cucumbers and gherkins Eggplants (aubergines) Chillies and peppers, green Onions, dry Garlic Beans, green Peas, green Carrots and turnips Vegetables, fresh Watermelons Melons, other (inc.cantaloupes) Bananas Oranges Tangerines, mandarins etc. Lemons and limes Grapefruit (inc. pomelos) Apples Pears Apricots Cherries Peaches and nectarines Plums and sloes Strawberries Grapes Figs dried Mangoes, mangosteens, guavas Avocados Pineapples Dates Kiwi fruit Papayas Fruit, tropical fresh Potatoes Sweet potatoes Starch, cassava Roots and tubers Meat, beef Meat, mutton Meat, pork Poultry meat Hen eggs 11
12 Methodology 3. Calculating Virtual Water Import Flows i. Virtual water trade of agricultural products The Virtual Water Trade [VWT] of a commodity [c] is given by the multiplication of the quantity of Commodity Traded [CT] and Virtual Water Content [VWC] of the commodity from country origin. ii. Gross Virtual Water Import (GVWI) The Gross Virtual Water Import [GVWI] is the sum of all virtual water of commodity [c] imported in year [t]. 12
13 Methodology 4. Falkenmark Water Stress Index Falkenmark et al. (1989) describes water stress as annual water availability per person. Thresholds of Falkenmark Index: Original Falkenmark indicator for water crowding Persons per flow unit a /yr a One flow unit = one million cubic metre Adapted water scarcity index or Falkenmark indicator m 3 /capita/yr Water stress implication < 600 > 1700 No Stress Stress Scarcity > 2000 < 500 Absolute Scarcity 13
14 Methodology 5. Water Scarcity Index The index of national Water Scarcity [WS] is the Water Use [WU] as percentage of the total Water Available [WA] of a country. The severity of water stress can be characterised as follow: Percent withdrawal Technical water stress <10 Low water stress Medium low water stress Medium high water stress >40 High water stress Data source: UN/WMO/SEI
15 Methodology 6. Water Poverty Index Water Poverty Index measures the relative position of a country in providing water (Lawrence et al. 2002). The purpose of the index is to express an interdisciplinary measures which links household welfare with water availability and indicates the degree to which water scarcity impacts on human populations. This is possible by taking into account both physical and socio economic factors associated with water scarcity. WPI consists of 5 indices (resources, access, capacity, use and environment). Each indices consists of a few sub-indices which are normalised to a range of scales between 0 and 1 using the formula below unless otherwise mentioned. The sub-indices within each index are averaged and multiplied by 20. The final index score for WPI is the sum of all five indices in the range of 0 to 100. x i denotes the original value of country i, x max is the country with the highest value and x min is the country with lowest value. 15
16 Methodology 6. Water Poverty Index Structure of index and data used No. Components Data used 1 Resources Sum of internal and external renewable freshwater resources per capita (m 3 /cap/yr) expressed on log scale. An arbitrary factor of 0.5 is applied on external renewable freshwater resources to reduce weight as these resources are generally less secured compared to internal water resources. 2 Access Access to improved water sources (%) Access to improved sanitation facilities (%) Percentage of arable land equipped for irrigation (%) 3 Capacity GDP per capita, PPP (US$) Mortality rate, under 5 (per 1,000 live births) UNDP Education index Gini index 16
17 Methodology 6. Water Poverty Index No. Components Data used 4 Use Domestic freshwater withdrawals per capita (litres daily per capita consumption) < 50 litres daily per capita consumption : Index = x i /50 Between litres daily per capita consumption: Index = 1 [( x min 50)/(x max 50)] > 150 litres daily per capita consumption: Index = 1 [( x min 50)/(x max 150)] Industrial & Agricultural water use efficiency is calculated as: The higher the ratio, the higher the water use efficiency by the sectors. 5 Environment Fertilizer consumption (kg/ha of arable land) Agricultural methane emissions (% of total) 17

33 Study implications In the last few decades, Singapore dietary preferences shifted from cereal grains to meat consumption. It is unlikely this trend will vary by much in the next few decades. Singapore will need to continue engage with water-rich countries for food security. Virtual water trade improves food security, freshwater availability and livelihoods for water-scarce countries like Singapore. The assessment on recent food trade and virtual water trade provide a comprehensive assessment on consumption-based virtual water indication. The study analyzed how food consumption patterns can affect virtual water demand, and how changes in future food consumption patterns are likely have an impact on water use. The various water resources indices can be used to influence towards sustainable production and consumption and the results will give policy and decision maker an indication on what challenges need to be addressed. 33
34 Limitations of the study 1. Falkenmark Water Stress and Water Scarcity Index Water management plays a critical role in the sustainability of agriculture, especially in water scarce regions. The Falkenmark water stress index and water scarcity index are common indices used to measure water stress on a national scale. The indicators assume water availability within a country is evenly distributed and change in demand for water due to climatic, physiographic and socio-economic factors are not considered. Thus, both indicators do not give a complete picture of water scarcity. 2. Water Poverty Index On the other hand, the water poverty index is a holistic approach used to assess the water situation, especially in arid and semi arid regions. WPI covers a wider aspect of freshwater availability and use. However, the relative position depends on the countries selected. WPI give sensible results in freshwater sustainability of a country but the indicator is by no means to give an explicit condition of a country water resources and use. While no method can be a perfect model to measure sustainability, WPI can provide a mean to understand the complexity of water issues by incorporating physical, socio-economic and environmental aspects. 34
35 Recommendations 1. Commodities selected in this study The reliability of the study can be improved by providing a comprehensive estimate of virtual water flows. This can be achieved by analyzing additional items such as processed products. However, it is unlikely that the overall trend will change by much since the food items selected are already the most commonly consumed in Singapore. In addition, high consumption of industrial commodities also contributed significantly to the overall virtual water footprints (D. Vanham, 2011). 2. Blue versus green water use A more balanced assessment on the effects of freshwater systems is to look at what is blue versus green water use as the blue water use has a greater impact on global freshwater resources. Shift in dietary preferences for more water intensive meat products will result in intensification of production from grazing and mixed to industrial system. This would increase the overall water footprint of production as a result. 35
36 Recommendations 3. Climate change and food production Climate change affects crop production through direct impacts on the biophysical factors such as plant and animal growth and the physical infrastructure associated with food processing and distribution (Schmidhuber and Tubiello, 2007) Recent research has suggested that some impacts of climate change are occurring more rapidly than previously anticipated (Parry et al., 2007). The crop water requirement per unit of crop produced is relatively high in regions with high evaporative demand. Nearly 50 % of crop yield is attributed to the influence of climatic factors. 36
37 Conclusions 1. Singapore s Virtual Water Import Flows In the last few decades, Singapore dietary preferences shifted from cereal grains to meat consumption. It is unlikely this trend will vary by much in the next few decades. Singapore will need to continue engage with water-rich countries for food security. Singapore gross virtual water volumes imported for the period related to trade in crops and livestock was 3,473 million m 3 per year or 2,078 litres per capita daily consumption. Livestock products contributed to the largest percentage of gross total virtual water consumption in Singapore (44%), followed by cereals (37%), fruits and vegetables (16%) & roots (3%). The high proportion of virtual water import flows from livestock is due shift in food consumption towards animal products which are generally water intensive. The six major food producing countries that contributed to 80% of GVWI in Singapore are Thailand (778 Mm 3 /yr), Malaysia (691 Mm 3 /yr), Brazil (586 Mm 3 /yr), Australia (412 Mm 3 /yr), USA (217 Mm 3 /yr) and India (168 Mm 3 /yr). 37
38 Conclusions 2. Significances of the study The study examines whether virtual water consumption related to trade in crops and livestock products is sustainable in Singapore. A sustainable country should account for its impacts beyond its borders. The ability of global freshwater resources to meet future food demand is highly dependent on consumption patterns within the country. The average virtual water consumption is more than 10 times the average domestic water consumption of 150 litres per capita daily consumption (PUB, 2014). Although the water supply system of Singapore is highly regarded as a role model for other countries, the virtual water consumption of the average citizen within the country is not sustainable. Despite the physical or monetary saving for Singapore to import products from water-efficient countries may not be significant, virtual water is still an important topic that can help inform public policy. Consumption behaviour has a determining influence on virtual water trade and every individual s commitment counts towards protecting the global freshwater resources. 38
