Indicators using this data

Water intensity of crop production

Water intensity of crop production The water intensity of crop production is defined as the volume of water input (irrigation plus soil moisture in cubic meters; m 3 ) for one unit of GVA (in euros or PPS) generated from the production of all crop types, adjusted for subsidies. The lower the value of the indicator, the better the water intensity. It is a relative measure of the pressure of the economy (NACE activities A1.1 and A1.2) on water resources.
