| | In 1993 Allan introduced his concept of virtual water. This is a way to measure how much water is involved and used in the production of a good. Virtual water is relevant in both agricultural and industrial products (kcl). He was inspired by Gideon Fishelson’s (Tel Aviv University) critique on the amount of water that is exported in the form of irrigated citrus fruits to the EU. Allan has also coined the terms of “problemshed” and “hydro-hegemony” . | | In 1993 Allan introduced his concept of virtual water.
