It is characteristic of food and beverage industries to consume huge amount of water, so it is of great significance to establish water footprint standard for such industries. On one hand, water footprint standard can provide water management guide for food and beverage manufacturers, proposing adequate water-saving measures by analyzing water consumption in production processes. On the other hand, disclosing water footprint of food and beverage products can raise consumers' awareness of water conservation, so as to lead them to prefer lower-water-footprint products, which can urge the enterprises to save and protect water resources. <<
