Abstract - India’s ambition to meet SDGs (Sustainable
Development Goals) like zero hunger and access to clean
water depends upon the strategic use and management of
limited freshwater resources. To do so, water consumption in
various sectors must be established rather than using the
traditional water withdrawal method. Waterfootprint(WF)is
an indicator used to find the volume of fresh water being used
in product, process, by a consumer, community, or nation
directly and indirectly. It is based on the concepts of material
flow analysis (MFA) and life cycle assessment (LCA). It traces
all the processes and the direct waterbeingconsumed inthem,
giving virtual water content (VWC, water required toproduce
a unit product) of a particular product.
In this study, it was found WF of Delhi in litres per capita per
day (lpcd) for the year 2011 and forecasted for the year 2021
using water footprint assessment (WFA). The average water
footprint of a person living in Delhi in the year 2011 came out
to be 2913 lpcd broken down as crop WF: 1868 lpcd; livestock
WF: 561 pcd; miscellaneous (comprises of products necessary
in urban living such as petrol, liquor, etc.) WF: 207 lpcd and
direct WF: 277 lpcd. It was found in the year 2021; crop WF is
going to increase marginally because of higher dairyproducts
and meat consumption along with lower consumption of
cereals. Increase of 12.8% in total WF from 2011 to 2021 is
primarily because of direct WF. There are many projects
underway by the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) such as Renuka Dam,
Kishau Dam and Lakhwar Vyasi Dam which aim to increase
direct water supply by 66% i.e. 258 lpcd in 2011 to 430 lpcd in
2021.
Interestingly ~85-90% of WF of a person in Delhi is due to
indirect consumption in the form of crop and livestock
products which are being imported since there are no
agricultural practices in Delhi. Remaining ~10-15% is in the
form of direct WF, most of it comes from places which are not
in geographical boundaries of Delhi (although they are a part
of Delhi Hydrometric Area (DHA)). Delhi is almost entirely
dependent on direct and indirect WF even though Delhi
receives ~ 1 m of average rainfall every year.

1. INTRODUCTION
Cities are the congested economic hubs of any nation; it is
likely that many cities will face challenges in meeting the
increasing demands of land, energy, water and other limited
resources (UN, 2018). Freshwater use in agricultural,
industrial, and household processes is increasing, which
makes sustainable water use and management irrefutable.
Stress on limited freshwater water resources is rapidly
increasing in cities due to increasing population density,
changing lifestyle, and urbanization (Gleick,2000).Thetotal
urban population in India grew from 17.97% in 1961 to
31.16% in 2011 (Bhagat, 2011).
Freshwater resources are unevenly distributed all around
India and the world with some areas being water scarce,
while some are abundant. However, through the trade of
goods and services, freshwater is being exchanged inter-
regionally and internationally.Thisisknownasvirtual water
(or indirect water) trade (Allan,1996).Virtual waterbecame
a building block of an indicator known as “Water Footprint”
(WF) developed by Hoekstra and Hung in 2002. Water
footprint network (URL 1) has been developed over the
years with a dedicated group of researchers working on
water footprint. The waterfootprintisusedtoaccountactual
or true water consumption for a product,process,consumer,
community, business, or a nation (Hoekstra, Chapagain, &
Aldaya, 2011).
1.1 Classification of Water Footprint
There are two classifications of water footprint. First, it
is classified as direct and indirect to distinguish betweenthe
natures of the WF. Direct WF is water consumed directly,
such as drinking, washing, etc. and indirect WF is water
consumed indirectly through the purchase of goods or
services such as buying foods, clothes, etc. Second, it
is divided into blue, green, and grey WF to account for
various water sources and water quality levels. The blue WF
refers to the water taken up from groundwater and surface
water resources during the production of a commodity. The
green WF is an indicator of the precipitated water that does
not run off or recharge the groundwater but gets stored as
moisture in the soil and ultimately taken up by plants for
their growth or gets evaporated. The grey WF is the water
required to dilute the water, coming out from a production
line of a product, according to water quality standards
International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET) e-ISSN: 2395-0056

(Mekonnen & Hoekstra, 2011). It is importanttounderstand
the difference between the water footprint of production
(WFprod) and the water footprint of consumption
(WFcons). The former is the sum of direct and indirect water
use of regional water resource used in the process of
production and latter is the sum of direct and indirect water
use of regional and foreign waterresourcethroughdomestic
consumption (Vanham, Hoekstra, & Bidoglio, 2013).
1.2 Assessment Techniques
WF traces the flow of direct water consumed in every
process involved. WF uses the concepts of material flow
analysis (MFA) and life cycle assessment (LCA). However,
WF measures on one attribute/unit, i.e., the volumeofwater
and do not measure impact (Hoekstra et al., 2011). Common
environmental impactsassociatedwith excessivefreshwater
use are groundwater depletion, biodiversity loss, and
freshwater pollution (Gleick, 2006).
1.3 Water Footprint of a city
WF studies now are being more focused on the city scale,
such as Zhang et al., 2011, Feng et al., 2010 and(Ahamset al.,
2017). Studies at city level give information about the
allocation of water resources at a local scale. This allows
taking appropriate measures and changes to optimize
freshwater use. Cities are a good market place to sell goods
which are not locally produced. Thus, cities use local water
sources mostly for direct water consumption while putting
burden and stress for indirect consumption on water
resources somewhere else where they are being
manufactured. Water saving in cities can be created by
trading from a place which requires lesser Virtual Water
Content (VWC, water required to produce or manufacture a
unit of a particular product) than from a place having higher
VWC for the same product (A. K. Chapagain, Hoekstra, &
Savenije, 2006).
1.4 Scope of the study
In this study, we applied WFA(WaterFootprintAssessment)
to find per capita consumption of water in Delhi as direct
and indirect WF. WF of consumption can then help to find
which sector or activities have higher water utilization and
how can it be reduced.
In India’s fight against poverty and hunger and to achieve
food and water security, WF can play a huge role in the
future, particularly in the agricultural sector (URL 2).
Around 80% of fresh water is being used in agriculture (K
Bharat & B Dkhar, 2018). Both food and water security are
interconnected, and they should be looked with a more
holistic approach at a local level. Current water productivity
in agriculture in India is lower than that of the global
average. With rapid population growth, it seems inevitable
for India to become a water scarce nation (Rockstrom,
Lannerstad, & Falkenmark, 2007). To tackle the situation,
some possible ways are like increasing crop productivity,
changing consumption patterns, or decreasing wastes and
losses of agricultural products, all of which must go hand in
hand.
Similar to other environmental indicators, water footprint
does not give a complete picture of every environmental
aspect. Therefore, it shouldbeintegrated withother relevant
indicators to get social, economic, and environmental
insights. The WF can act as a partial tool in the decision-
making process (Hoekstra et al., 2011).
2. METHODOLOGY AND DATASETS
2.1 Method
This section describes the approach followed to determine
and forecast the total water footprint in litres per capita per
day (lpcd) and the losses as virtual water in different
agricultural products for Delhi for the years 2011 and 2021.
2.2 Water Footprint Calculation
The summation of the footprint of the individual product
gives the total water footprint within the geographical
boundaries of Delhi as given by equations below.
where,
WFDelhi=WFdirect +WFindirect [1]
WFdirect = Direct WF = Water being supplied by DJB (Delhi Jal
Board) and groundwater used by households andindustries
in Delhi
WFindirect = Indirect WF = Water being used indirectly in
products such as food, clothes, petrol etc.
[2]
where,
DWi= Direct water through ith source
i = 1, 2….n
[3]
WFp= VWCp * w
where,
WFp = Water footprint of pth product
p = 1, 2…m
VWCp = Virtual Water Content of product p (m3/ton or l/kg)
w = weight of product p consumed (ton or kg)
2.3 Forecast
The trend of consumption of crop and livestock productsfor
Delhi is assumed to be the same as for average India. The
trend of consumption of various products was found out by
International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET) e-ISSN: 2395-0056
Volume: 06 Issue: 07 | July 2019 www.irjet.net p-ISSN: 2395-0072

using the FAO database. Also, virtual water content for any
product p (VWCp) is estimated to remain constant
temporarily.
Time series curves were developed for each agricultural
product from the data collected from FAO (as shown in
Appendix figures). Outliers were identified byusingbox plot
of residuals.
The equation used to find consumption for the year 2021:
where,
C2021,p: Consumption for product p (Delhi 2021)
C,NSSO2011,p: Consumption for product p (Delhi, 2011)
(Source: NSSO, 2014)
C, FAO2011, p: Consumption for product p (Indian average,
2011) (Source: URL C)
C, Estimated, FAO2021, p: Consumption for product p
(Indian average, 2021).
It was found out by using the best fit trend line for product p
using FAO data from 1961 to 2013 (Source: URL C).
Note: While forecasting, we excludedmiscellaneousWF from
our system boundary.
2.4 Virtual Water Content (VWC) of Various Crops
and Products
Virtual water content(VWC) valuesweremajorlytakenfrom
various Water Footprint Network (WFN) sources.
2.5 Datasets
All the data collected to calculate the waterfootprintofDelhi
were for the year 2011-12. The main reason being, the last
census report was published in 2011 and hence, better
accuracy on per capita consumption.Data wascollectedfrom
different sources, suitable assumptions were made, and it
has been reported in detail in the supplementary material.
No primary data and industrial data were collected. The
system boundary for this study is shown in figure 1.

2.6 Losses
The virtual water loss due to inefficiencies in production,
processing, packaging, and distribution has been calculated
using data from FAO for the South and Southeast Asia in the
year 2007 to 2009. The rate of losses and waste was
assumed to remain the same during the period 2011 to
2021.
3. RESULTS
3.1 Water Footprint of Delhi in 2011 and 2021
The average water footprint of a person living in Delhi inthe
year 2011 came out to be ~2913 lpcd with ~858 grams of
average food consumption in a day.Detailedflowof WFfrom
different products within system boundaries of this study is
shown in figure 2. Food products (crop and livestock
products) contribute ~ 85% of total WF.
It was found crop WF as 1868 lpcd, 64% of total WF.
Consumption of cereals, pulses, and edibleoil takes~84% of
crop WF. Cereals alone contribute to ~60% of crop WF.
Consumption of rice products and wheat products has a
91.7% share in cereals and contributeto~18%and~21%of
total indirect WF respectively.
WF of livestock products is 561 lpcd, which is ~19% of total
WF. High consumption of milk (~166 grams/day) leads to
high WF of dairy products. WF of meat per unit consumed is
relatively high (~ 7000 l/kg) but lowerconsumptionofmeat
results in lower WF, i.e. 192 lpcd.
Miscellaneous products take about 7% of total WF, i.e. 207
lpcd. WF of energy requirement in 2011 through petrol,
kerosene, coal, and electricity is ~ 70 litres per person per
day. This is lower than average WF of clothesbought,i.e.106
lpcd.
Direct water received in Delhi in 2011 was about 277 lpcd
through various rivers and groundwater sources.

(excluding misc. products and groundwater)
Fig- 0: Water footprint flow in Delhi 2021 in lpcd
(excluding misc. products and groundwater)
The present study estimates WF of Delhi as ~ 3034 lpcd in
2021, based on projected input data of food products
adapted from FAO database and neglecting miscellaneous
products due to its insignificant contribution.
The results of this study have shown a 12.8% increase in
total WF and ~6.5% increase in per day consumption from
858 grams per day in 2011 to 914 grams in 2021.
A ~4% decrease in WF was found in cereals, a product with
the highest individual contribution. Spices and sugar
consumption and WF has shown a marginal decrease. All
other product categories have shown increased WF.
The WF of overall crop sector has been found to remain the
same or increase marginally. Livestock WF is going to
increase due to a shift in dietary patterns. Several projects
are underway to increase direct WF by 66% in Delhi by DJB.

3.2 Losses
Due to inefficiencies in agricultural practices, the average
virtual water lost in the year 2011 was 11239 million litres
per day (MLD), which is going to increase to 12057 MLD in
the year 2021. Average virtual water lost due to foodwasted
after consumption was 1243 MLD in the year 2011 and will
become 1268 MLD in the year 2021. Average virtual water
lost for different products has been tabulated in table 1.

3.3 Sensitivity Analysis
It was found that out of 38 categories ofproducts,5products
were contributing 73% of indirect WF, and the rest 33
products contributed the remaining 27%. Two scenarios
were made to find sensitivity:
Scenario A: Variation in total WF due to variation in the
water footprint of 33 products (contributing27%ofindirect
WF) was studied. Other 5 products were assumed to have
exact values of their WF.
Scenario B: Variation in total WF due to variation in the
water footprint of 5 products (contributing 73 % of indirect
WF) was studied. Rest 33 products were assumed to have
exact values of their WF.

3.4 Validation
1. The data from NSS 68 of consumption of various
agricultural products shows a correlation with the data
given by FAO for the year 2011. The variation in data
may be attributed to:
- The difference in sampling methods by FAO and
NSSO
- FAO database uses January to December as a
reference period of one year while NSSO conducted
interviews from June’11 to July’12.
2. According to ‘Water footprints of nations’ by Chapagain
& Hoekstra, 2004, average Indian internal agricultural
and livestock WF of production = 2485 lpcd using
analysis period as 1997–2001. This study gives
agricultural and livestock WF of consumption in Delhi=
2429.2 lpcd in the year 2011-12.
3. According to ‘The water footprintofIndia’by Kampman,
2007, the average Indian internal agricultural of
production = 1802 lpcd using analysis period as 1997–
2001. This study gives agricultural of consumption in
Delhi = 1868 lpcd in the year 2011-12.
4. CONCLUSIONS
Food products (agricultural and livestock) have a major
contribution (~ 90%) in WF of consumption for a person in
Delhi. Rice and wheat products are the majorcontributors in
crop water footprint due to high consumption. Our
estimations showed that cereals’ consumption could
decrease by ~4.2% from 2011 to 2021. Overall consumption
of livestock products is estimated to increase by ~24%,
chicken consumption might increase by ~45%.
Results suggest, increase of 12.8% in total water footprint of
Delhi from 2011 to 2021 is primarily because of direct and
livestock water footprint increase. Direct water footprint is
estimated to increase by 66% in this period. Results suggest
indirect water footprint will have a marginal rise of ~7%
from 2011 to 2021. It was found there is no significantwater
footprint contribution (lessthan8%)ofproducts essential in
urban living as discussed in this report (in per capita scale).
This is because the relative contribution of food products is
much higher than the products required in urban living. 5
major food products were identified whichcontributed73%
of the total indirect WF and scenario based sensitivity
analysis.
It was estimated 1243 MLD of virtual water was lost inDelhi
by food wastage in the year 2011. It was estimated 11239
MLD of virtual water was lost in theyear2011inproduction,
storage and transportation phases. It was found virtual
water lost due to inefficienciesinpost-harvestpracticessuch
as storage and transportation is more than whatDelhineeds
(direct water) in a day.
It can be concluded enormous potential of water savings is
there in Delhi as well as in India by reducing the losses in
sowing, storage and transportation phases as well as by
reducing the food wasted. It can ultimately lower the
pollution levels in the streams by higher dilution.
For rural regions, emphasis should be on sowing seasonal
crops according to climatic conditions, soil productivity and
water availability. Cities can play a crucial role in decreasing
indirect losses by connecting them with rural areas through
efficient transportation systems. Properstoragefacilitiesfor
agricultural products can be used as an indicator for
sustainable cities and can aid in water savings.

IRJET- Water Footprint Analysis of Delhi to Understand it’s Sustainability

  • 1. International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET) e-ISSN: 2395-0056 Volume: 06 Issue: 07 | July 2019 www.irjet.net p-ISSN: 2395-0072 © 2019, IRJET | Impact Factor value: 7.211 | ISO 9001:2008 Certified Journal | Page 1934 Water Footprint Analysis of Delhi to Understand it’s sustainability Vaibhav1, Dr Bharat Jhamnani2 1Master of technology scholar, Department of Environmental Engineering, Delhi Technological University, Shahbad Daulatpura, Main Bawana Road, Delhi, 110042, India 2Assistant professor, Department of Civil Engineering, Delhi Technological University, Shahbad Daulatpura, Main Bawana Road, Delhi, 110042, India ---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract - India’s ambition to meet SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) like zero hunger and access to clean water depends upon the strategic use and management of limited freshwater resources. To do so, water consumption in various sectors must be established rather than using the traditional water withdrawal method. Waterfootprint(WF)is an indicator used to find the volume of fresh water being used in product, process, by a consumer, community, or nation directly and indirectly. It is based on the concepts of material flow analysis (MFA) and life cycle assessment (LCA). It traces all the processes and the direct waterbeingconsumed inthem, giving virtual water content (VWC, water required toproduce a unit product) of a particular product. In this study, it was found WF of Delhi in litres per capita per day (lpcd) for the year 2011 and forecasted for the year 2021 using water footprint assessment (WFA). The average water footprint of a person living in Delhi in the year 2011 came out to be 2913 lpcd broken down as crop WF: 1868 lpcd; livestock WF: 561 pcd; miscellaneous (comprises of products necessary in urban living such as petrol, liquor, etc.) WF: 207 lpcd and direct WF: 277 lpcd. It was found in the year 2021; crop WF is going to increase marginally because of higher dairyproducts and meat consumption along with lower consumption of cereals. Increase of 12.8% in total WF from 2011 to 2021 is primarily because of direct WF. There are many projects underway by the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) such as Renuka Dam, Kishau Dam and Lakhwar Vyasi Dam which aim to increase direct water supply by 66% i.e. 258 lpcd in 2011 to 430 lpcd in 2021. Interestingly ~85-90% of WF of a person in Delhi is due to indirect consumption in the form of crop and livestock products which are being imported since there are no agricultural practices in Delhi. Remaining ~10-15% is in the form of direct WF, most of it comes from places which are not in geographical boundaries of Delhi (although they are a part of Delhi Hydrometric Area (DHA)). Delhi is almost entirely dependent on direct and indirect WF even though Delhi receives ~ 1 m of average rainfall every year. Key Words: Environmental footprint; Water footprint; Water footprint assessment; Virtual water 1. INTRODUCTION Cities are the congested economic hubs of any nation; it is likely that many cities will face challenges in meeting the increasing demands of land, energy, water and other limited resources (UN, 2018). Freshwater use in agricultural, industrial, and household processes is increasing, which makes sustainable water use and management irrefutable. Stress on limited freshwater water resources is rapidly increasing in cities due to increasing population density, changing lifestyle, and urbanization (Gleick,2000).Thetotal urban population in India grew from 17.97% in 1961 to 31.16% in 2011 (Bhagat, 2011). Freshwater resources are unevenly distributed all around India and the world with some areas being water scarce, while some are abundant. However, through the trade of goods and services, freshwater is being exchanged inter- regionally and internationally.Thisisknownasvirtual water (or indirect water) trade (Allan,1996).Virtual waterbecame a building block of an indicator known as “Water Footprint” (WF) developed by Hoekstra and Hung in 2002. Water footprint network (URL 1) has been developed over the years with a dedicated group of researchers working on water footprint. The waterfootprintisusedtoaccountactual or true water consumption for a product,process,consumer, community, business, or a nation (Hoekstra, Chapagain, & Aldaya, 2011). 1.1 Classification of Water Footprint There are two classifications of water footprint. First, it is classified as direct and indirect to distinguish betweenthe natures of the WF. Direct WF is water consumed directly, such as drinking, washing, etc. and indirect WF is water consumed indirectly through the purchase of goods or services such as buying foods, clothes, etc. Second, it is divided into blue, green, and grey WF to account for various water sources and water quality levels. The blue WF refers to the water taken up from groundwater and surface water resources during the production of a commodity. The green WF is an indicator of the precipitated water that does not run off or recharge the groundwater but gets stored as moisture in the soil and ultimately taken up by plants for their growth or gets evaporated. The grey WF is the water required to dilute the water, coming out from a production line of a product, according to water quality standards
  • 2. International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET) e-ISSN: 2395-0056 Volume: 06 Issue: 07 | July 2019 www.irjet.net p-ISSN: 2395-0072 © 2019, IRJET | Impact Factor value: 7.211 | ISO 9001:2008 Certified Journal | Page 1935 (Mekonnen & Hoekstra, 2011). It is importanttounderstand the difference between the water footprint of production (WFprod) and the water footprint of consumption (WFcons). The former is the sum of direct and indirect water use of regional water resource used in the process of production and latter is the sum of direct and indirect water use of regional and foreign waterresourcethroughdomestic consumption (Vanham, Hoekstra, & Bidoglio, 2013). 1.2 Assessment Techniques WF traces the flow of direct water consumed in every process involved. WF uses the concepts of material flow analysis (MFA) and life cycle assessment (LCA). However, WF measures on one attribute/unit, i.e., the volumeofwater and do not measure impact (Hoekstra et al., 2011). Common environmental impactsassociatedwith excessivefreshwater use are groundwater depletion, biodiversity loss, and freshwater pollution (Gleick, 2006). 1.3 Water Footprint of a city WF studies now are being more focused on the city scale, such as Zhang et al., 2011, Feng et al., 2010 and(Ahamset al., 2017). Studies at city level give information about the allocation of water resources at a local scale. This allows taking appropriate measures and changes to optimize freshwater use. Cities are a good market place to sell goods which are not locally produced. Thus, cities use local water sources mostly for direct water consumption while putting burden and stress for indirect consumption on water resources somewhere else where they are being manufactured. Water saving in cities can be created by trading from a place which requires lesser Virtual Water Content (VWC, water required to produce or manufacture a unit of a particular product) than from a place having higher VWC for the same product (A. K. Chapagain, Hoekstra, & Savenije, 2006). 1.4 Scope of the study In this study, we applied WFA(WaterFootprintAssessment) to find per capita consumption of water in Delhi as direct and indirect WF. WF of consumption can then help to find which sector or activities have higher water utilization and how can it be reduced. In India’s fight against poverty and hunger and to achieve food and water security, WF can play a huge role in the future, particularly in the agricultural sector (URL 2). Around 80% of fresh water is being used in agriculture (K Bharat & B Dkhar, 2018). Both food and water security are interconnected, and they should be looked with a more holistic approach at a local level. Current water productivity in agriculture in India is lower than that of the global average. With rapid population growth, it seems inevitable for India to become a water scarce nation (Rockstrom, Lannerstad, & Falkenmark, 2007). To tackle the situation, some possible ways are like increasing crop productivity, changing consumption patterns, or decreasing wastes and losses of agricultural products, all of which must go hand in hand. Similar to other environmental indicators, water footprint does not give a complete picture of every environmental aspect. Therefore, it shouldbeintegrated withother relevant indicators to get social, economic, and environmental insights. The WF can act as a partial tool in the decision- making process (Hoekstra et al., 2011). 2. METHODOLOGY AND DATASETS 2.1 Method This section describes the approach followed to determine and forecast the total water footprint in litres per capita per day (lpcd) and the losses as virtual water in different agricultural products for Delhi for the years 2011 and 2021. 2.2 Water Footprint Calculation The summation of the footprint of the individual product gives the total water footprint within the geographical boundaries of Delhi as given by equations below. where, WFDelhi=WFdirect +WFindirect [1] WFdirect = Direct WF = Water being supplied by DJB (Delhi Jal Board) and groundwater used by households andindustries in Delhi WFindirect = Indirect WF = Water being used indirectly in products such as food, clothes, petrol etc. [2] where, DWi= Direct water through ith source i = 1, 2….n [3] WFp= VWCp * w where, WFp = Water footprint of pth product p = 1, 2…m VWCp = Virtual Water Content of product p (m3/ton or l/kg) w = weight of product p consumed (ton or kg) 2.3 Forecast The trend of consumption of crop and livestock productsfor Delhi is assumed to be the same as for average India.

Also, virtual water content for any product p (VWCp) is estimated to remain constant temporarily. Time series curves were developed for each agricultural product from the data collected from FAO (as shown in Appendix figures). Outliers were identified byusingbox plot of residuals. The equation used to find consumption for the year 2021: where, C2021,p: Consumption for product p (Delhi 2021) C,NSSO2011,p: Consumption for product p (Delhi, 2011) (Source: NSSO, 2014) C, FAO2011, p: Consumption for product p (Indian average, 2011) (Source: URL C) C, Estimated, FAO2021, p: Consumption for product p (Indian average, 2021). It was found out by using the best fit trend line for product p using FAO data from 1961 to 2013 (Source: URL C). Note: While forecasting, we excludedmiscellaneousWF from our system boundary. 2.4 Virtual Water Content (VWC) of Various Crops and Products Virtual water content(VWC) valuesweremajorlytakenfrom various Water Footprint Network (WFN) sources. 2.5 Datasets All the data collected to calculate the waterfootprintofDelhi were for the year 2011-12. The main reason being, the last census report was published in 2011 and hence, better accuracy on per capita consumption.Data wascollectedfrom different sources, suitable assumptions were made, and it has been reported in detail in the supplementary material. No primary data and industrial data were collected. The system boundary for this study is shown in figure 1. Fig -1: System boundaries for this study 2.5.1Direct Water Use and its Footprint Direct water consumed in Delhi comprises of surface water from various rivers and groundwater. Total direct water footprint in Delhi in 2011: WFdirect= 1020 MGD (Surface and Ground Water Use) + 0.34 MGD (Virtual water associated with the treatment of water, Neglected as it less than 0.03% of direct water use) = 1020 MGD = 3861MLD = 277 litres per day per capita (Population of Delhi in 2011 = 16.7 million) 2.5.2Indirect Water Use and its Footprint A total of 104 products were considered inthisreporttofind the water footprint of Delhi. 75 products in crops, 13 products in livestock, and 16 miscellaneous products,which are important in urban living were included in this study.

The rate of losses and waste was assumed to remain the same during the period 2011 to 2021. 3. RESULTS 3.1 Water Footprint of Delhi in 2011 and 2021 The average water footprint of a person living in Delhi inthe year 2011 came out to be ~2913 lpcd with ~858 grams of average food consumption in a day.Detailedflowof WFfrom different products within system boundaries of this study is shown in figure 2. Food products (crop and livestock products) contribute ~ 85% of total WF. It was found crop WF as 1868 lpcd, 64% of total WF. Consumption of cereals, pulses, and edibleoil takes~84% of crop WF. Cereals alone contribute to ~60% of crop WF. Consumption of rice products and wheat products has a 91.7% share in cereals and contributeto~18%and~21%of total indirect WF respectively. WF of livestock products is 561 lpcd, which is ~19% of total WF. High consumption of milk (~166 grams/day) leads to high WF of dairy products. WF of meat per unit consumed is relatively high (~ 7000 l/kg) but lowerconsumptionofmeat results in lower WF, i.e. 192 lpcd. Miscellaneous products take about 7% of total WF, i.e. 207 lpcd. WF of energy requirement in 2011 through petrol, kerosene, coal, and electricity is ~ 70 litres per person per day. This is lower than average WF of clothesbought,i.e.106 lpcd. Direct water received in Delhi in 2011 was about 277 lpcd through various rivers and groundwater sources. Fig -2: Water footprint(lpcd) of Delhi in 2011 Fig- 3: Water footprint flow in Delhi 2011 in lpcd (excluding misc. products and groundwater) Fig- 0: Water footprint flow in Delhi 2021 in lpcd (excluding misc. products and groundwater) The present study estimates WF of Delhi as ~ 3034 lpcd in 2021, based on projected input data of food products adapted from FAO database and neglecting miscellaneous products due to its insignificant contribution. The results of this study have shown a 12.8% increase in total WF and ~6.5% increase in per day consumption from 858 grams per day in 2011 to 914 grams in 2021. A ~4% decrease in WF was found in cereals, a product with the highest individual contribution. Spices and sugar consumption and WF has shown a marginal decrease. All other product categories have shown increased WF. The WF of overall crop sector has been found to remain the same or increase marginally. Livestock WF is going to increase due to a shift in dietary patterns. Several projects are underway to increase direct WF by 66% in Delhi by DJB. Relative contribution of WFforyear2011and2021isshown in figures 3 & 4. Comparison of the flow of WF through various product categories in the year 2011 and 2021 has been made in figure 5 and figure 6.

The data from NSS 68 of consumption of various agricultural products shows a correlation with the data given by FAO for the year 2011. The variation in data may be attributed to: - The difference in sampling methods by FAO and NSSO - FAO database uses January to December as a reference period of one year while NSSO conducted interviews from June’11 to July’12. 2. According to ‘Water footprints of nations’ by Chapagain & Hoekstra, 2004, average Indian internal agricultural and livestock WF of production = 2485 lpcd using analysis period as 1997–2001. This study gives agricultural and livestock WF of consumption in Delhi= 2429.2 lpcd in the year 2011-12. 3. According to ‘The water footprintofIndia’by Kampman, 2007, the average Indian internal agricultural of production = 1802 lpcd using analysis period as 1997– 2001. This study gives agricultural of consumption in Delhi = 1868 lpcd in the year 2011-12. 4. CONCLUSIONS Food products (agricultural and livestock) have a major contribution (~ 90%) in WF of consumption for a person in Delhi. Rice and wheat products are the majorcontributors in crop water footprint due to high consumption. Our estimations showed that cereals’ consumption could decrease by ~4.2% from 2011 to 2021. Overall consumption of livestock products is estimated to increase by ~24%, chicken consumption might increase by ~45%. Results suggest, increase of 12.8% in total water footprint of Delhi from 2011 to 2021 is primarily because of direct and livestock water footprint increase. Direct water footprint is estimated to increase by 66% in this period. Results suggest indirect water footprint will have a marginal rise of ~7% from 2011 to 2021. It was found there is no significantwater footprint contribution (lessthan8%)ofproducts essential in urban living as discussed in this report (in per capita scale). This is because the relative contribution of food products is much higher than the products required in urban living. 5 major food products were identified whichcontributed73% of the total indirect WF and scenario based sensitivity analysis. It was estimated 1243 MLD of virtual water was lost inDelhi by food wastage in the year 2011. It was estimated 11239 MLD of virtual water was lost in theyear2011inproduction, storage and transportation phases. It was found virtual water lost due to inefficienciesinpost-harvestpracticessuch as storage and transportation is more than whatDelhineeds (direct water) in a day. It can be concluded enormous potential of water savings is there in Delhi as well as in India by reducing the losses in sowing, storage and transportation phases as well as by reducing the food wasted. It can ultimately lower the pollution levels in the streams by higher dilution. For rural regions, emphasis should be on sowing seasonal crops according to climatic conditions, soil productivity and water availability. Cities can play a crucial role in decreasing indirect losses by connecting them with rural areas through efficient transportation systems. Properstoragefacilitiesfor agricultural products can be used as an indicator for sustainable cities and can aid in water savings. REFERENCES 1. Ahams, I.
