* For a few countries – including the UK, the Netherlands and Germany – more recent studies have been carried out. The new water footprint estimates differ from the earlier estimates because of an improved calculation methodology. For the Netherlands, the new estimate differs substantially from the earlier figure presented in Hoekstra and Chapagain (2008). The new study is: Van Oel, P.R., Mekonnen M.M. and Hoekstra, A.Y.
