Discussion

In example for a product this done by using statistic data to perform a w:Life-cycle assessment.You consider all the steps from product design to it's disposale and you evaluate for each step how much water was used. For example if there is 20g of injection molded Nylon you multiply this quantity by the statistical quantity of water used to mold 1g on Nylon. You can find this data in databases of make (simplified LCA) of make a specific analyse in the factory. --Thibdx (talk) 20:17, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Thibdx: But, one of the examples is United States of America (Q30), which doesn't seem to fit that model. --Yair rand (talk) 20:29, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This is quite the same story. You make a lifecycle analysis on each product consumed per year and you add direct water consumption. Of course you rely on statistical methods to ease the process and cross your results. --Thibdx (talk) 09:18, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
