Metodología para la medición de la huella hídrica en la producción de tilapia, cachama y trucha: estudios de caso para el Valle del Cauca (Colombia)

Abstract: The pisciculture sector in Colombia, has grown 13% annually between 1988 and 2013, and it is the sixth major water user. Considering the influence that pisciculture has over the water resources, the water footprint of pisciculture was studied as a sustainability indicator, a method was developed to estimate the water footprint of the sector, which include not only the direct and indirect components, but also the green, blue and grey water footprint. The method was applied to the three most produced species in … Show more

“…Rainbow trout, pond culture (Colombia) 16.9 m 3 /kg Source: [43] The study calculated blue, grey, and green water footprint (WF) for the hatching and on-growing phases: feed and electricity (input) production. Calculated WFs were 19.8, 5.5, and 6.1 m 3 /kg for trout, tilapia, and chachama, respectively.…”

“…Studies have been carried out in agriculture; in rice crops such as in China, an WF of 1.76 m 3 /kg (70) was calculated, in India of 0.980 m 3 /kg (71) and Thailand of 2.60 m 3 /kg (72) , in this productive system the WF is determined by the supply of green water in the production area, the irrigation system, crop variety and agrochemicals applied. On the other hand, the livestock sector; as occurs in the production of fish in Colombia where it can range between 6.19 and 19.85 m 3 /kg of fish depending on the variety (73) , while in cattle farming for milk production for example in Colombia an WF of 1.9 m 3 /l is estimated (74) and in Ireland of 0.7 m 3 /l (75) , the WF in these productions is highly influenced by the gray water that these productions generate, and the indirect consumption of water in the production of pastures for the feeding of the animals. Finally in the manufacturing industry; as for example in the production of cement an WF 2.2 m 3 /kg (76) was calculated, in wines of 1.84 m 3 /l (77) and gazpachos of 0.58 m 3 /l (78) , in this sector it is inferred that the processes of Transformation of the final product does not provide a high consumption of water, but the WF focuses mainly on the raw materials that are required to generate these products.…”
