Episode 203: Tony Allen (1937-2021) coined the term "virtual water." In this 2012 interview (sorry about the background noise), we discuss how he came up with the idea and the difficulty of getting politicians to pay attention to their lack of water (and food) security. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/may/07/tony-allan-obituary https://www.iwra.org/in-memoriam-tony-allan/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Anthony_Allan https://kysq.org/aguanomics/2008/03/virtual-water/ https://kysq.org/aguanomics/2012/06/water-chat-tony-allan/ https://kysq.org/aguanomics/2016/11/all-studies-intending-to-use-a-virtual-water-strategy-to-solve-problems-of-water-scarcity-may-stop-now/
We each eat on average between 500-1300 gallons of water every day. Understanding the virtual water footprint of our food is a great starting point to begin Eating Less Water. Water footprint totals of some popular foods: 1 almond = 1 gallon of water 1 slice of bread- 11 gallons of water 1 pound of lettuce = 10 gallons of water 1 orange = 21 gallons of water 1 apple =33 gallons of water 1 dozen eggs = 276 gallons of water 1 cup cooked rice = 50 gallons of water 1 pound of pasta = 230 gallons of water 1 pound of chicken = 468 gallons of water 1 gallons milk = 720 gallons of water 1 pound of cheese = 414 gallons of water 1 pound of beef = 1800 gallons of water 1 pound of butter = 3602 Show action tip: Serve more foods on your plate with lower water footprint totals (i.e. more plants on your plate). It's better for you and for a river.

It takes 8,000 liters of water to manufacture a pair of jeans! We use far more 'virtual' water than we realize. Products like coffee and meat effectively take water from drought-stricken areas. What can we do to reduce our water footprint?
Starting a new job (or chugging away at your current one) from home can be weird, to say the least! With more and more companies extending their remote work status indefinitely, the virtual office doesn't seem to be going anywhere any time soon. Join us and our friend Alina Kramkova as we chat about what it's like to work from home, in the fourth episode of this series.
eMarketer principal analyst Mark Dolliver, junior analyst Blake Droesch and vice president of content studio at Insider Intelligence Paul Verna discuss how to recreate those water cooler moments in the digital world, how much Super Bowl LV commercials are going for, watching Instagram Stories on Facebook, parents' more positive view of devices, the number of Facebook Watch viewers, the difference between frugal and cheap, what you didn't notice about that double rainbow, and more.
This week, Pete Blank shares five tips on how to keep remote workers engaged. They are: Meet in Person Create the Virtual Water Cooler Phone Call or Zoom? Scheduled Times or not? Responsiveness Expectations
What is a virtual water cooler moment? It's leveraging digital tools in imaginative ways to simulate IRL interactions with coworkers, colleagues, friends, and other people in your network when you can't meet with them in real life. In this episode of the podcast, Kelly shares fun ideas for orchestrating virtual water cooler moments during this period of "social distancing" along with suggestions on how to reach out to others and stay connected in "low tech" ways. With empathy and a bit of creativity, you can turn this period of self-isolation into one of great community building.

Communicate with Impact for Virtual Teams™- Conference Call Edition
A preeminent concern that leaders of Global Teams express, is the difficulty of building relationships given the fluidity of global, virtual environments. In this episode, Rasheryl McCreary interviews Clare McNamara, a leading Executive Coach in the UK, and author of the Blogpost, "How to create a Virtual Water-Cooler™ and why it’s important for leading a global team." Join me as I interview Clare McNamara and explore her insightful concept—the "Virtual Water-Cooler™!"
We talk with Sandi Copeland, Adjunct Professor of Anthropology at CU, about this story: Two million years ago, two-legged apes roamed the African landscape. Many of these ancient hominins, lived in limestone caves in what is now South Africa. We know this through fossilized skull fragments and teeth from those caves. But fossils only tell us where an individual died—not where it grew up, or where it traveled during its life. Or do they? New research from the University of Colorado that’s been published in the journal Nature, reveals that male hominins in South Africa grew up in the caves where they died, while the females who died there grew up elsewhere and migrated to the caves as adults. The research not only sheds light on the behaviors of early human relatives; it makes use of a new technique, pioneered by the CU researchers, to quickly and cheaply analyze the birthplace of fossilized creatures. Producer: Shelley Schlender Co-hosts: Joel Parker, Ted Burnham Engineer: Shelley Schlender For Headline Features, read on . . . STORY 1 {Virtual water cannot remedy freshwater shortage}: We all know what it’s like to drink or bathe in “real” water. But what about “virtual” water? “Virtual Water” is an economic calculation of the water needed to produce a certain amount of product. For instance, producing one kilogram of beef generally requires 15 thousand litres of water. It also takes water to grow crops such as juicy oranges. Virtual water transfers occur through trade. When desert destinations such as Quatar, or Las Vegas, buy oranges and beef they are indirectly importing water. And as the world’s population grows, virtual water transfer could, in theory, provide more equal water use between nations, insuring that everyone's water needs are met. However, according to a study published today in the journal Environmental Research Letters, banking on virtual water as a solution to global water problems could spell disaster. The study’s lead author, David Seekell, of the University of Virginia, points out that 80% of the people on Earth are already threatened by water shortages. Seekell warns that there’s not enough virtual water transfer to provide future, larger populations have enough water. What’s more, recent theoretical work shows that these transfers make societies more vulnerable to droughts. Without addressing population growth, Seekell says that efforts to equalize water supplies through global trade or a formal government-based virtual water market are likely end up high and dry. STORY 2 {Bat hibernation and rabies}: For North American wildlife, it’s often hard to survive the winter. Many bats solve this problem through hibernation, but at a cost. Hibernation allows some pathogens, such as rabies, to survive as well. To figure out the costs and benefits of hibernation, Colorado State University biologist Dylan George and colleagues designed a mathematical model to analyze data from a five year study of Colorado’s big brown bats. Matching data about birth, mortality and rabies infection, they've concluded that during the chilly months of a bat’s winter hibernation, the bat’s slowed-down metabolism slows viral development enough that it doesn’t make the bats sick just yet, and this allows plenty of bat babies to be born in the spring -- already infected with rabies. Many of these young bats then live long enough to produce more generations of infected babies. In contrast, when the scientists ran simulations that eliminated hibernation, the rabies virus killed bats so fast, populations crashed. The authors say this gives insights into how hibernation and cooler temperatures may influence many diseases in bats. STORY 3 {Glimpse Into Uncertainty}: We’re not completely certain how to explain this next story, because - well - it’s based on the “Uncertainty Principle.” The Uncertainty Principle is one of the more well-known consequences of quantum mechanics,
Water is arguably the most important physical resource as it is the one that is essential to human survival. Understanding the global water cycle and how we use water is essential to planning a sustainable source of water for the future. In the UK there are areas where water supplies are limited, shown by recent droughts. Globally, there are many areas that do not have enough water to support the current population adequately. Decisions will have to be made on the best way to use water in a world where there is climate change This study unit is just one of many that can be found on LearningSpace, part of OpenLearn, a collection of open educational resources from The Open University.

Water is essential for life, but it's also essential for our economy. We all use water for drinking, bathing, watering crops and gardens, and so on. But a surprising amount of water use is bound up in the products we purchase and consume from corporations. Chemical manufacturing, energy production, mineral extraction and commercial farming all require massive amounts of water to run viable businesses, and they often take water locally to make products that get sold internationally. But countries and companies have few contingency plans for what happens if this virtual trade in water runs dry -- which could happen sooner rather than later according to a recent World Bank report that predicts the demand of water will outstrip supply by 40% in the next 20 years. This episode, we are joined by Maude Barlow, National Chairperson of the Council of Canadians, to talk about the virtual global water trade, how it affects local communities as well as multinational corporations and what companies, investors and governments need to do to avert the global water crisis.
