摘要: Abstract Water and energy are both important resources that inextricably reciprocally linked. Indeed, production requires a lot of water (e.g., cooling at power plants), numerous studies have investigated the footprint (WFEP). However, is typically supplied to domestic consumers by foreign producers, so it necessary take internal external productions into account. The aim this study evaluate footprints supply in Thailand applying standard analysis methods based on bottom-up approaches, which define separate consumption perspectives. Our findings show WFEP for 2010 was nine times greater than 1986, while (WFES) eight because use biomass energy. We discuss dependency, impacts resources, policy implications, we suggest ways promote reliable limiting Thailand.
