The following table is based on data from the Water Footprint Network, a science-based organization that promotes the sustainable use of water through sharing knowledge and building awareness of how water is used.
It shows the amounts of embedded water, or water required to produce each of the products listed in the first column. Study the table and then answer the questions that follow.
Find a loaf of common wheat bread, count the slices per loaf, and calculate the amount of water used to produce each slice. Calculate the amount of water used to produce one-third pound of beef. Combine these two to arrive at the approximate amount of water used to produce an average restaurant hamburger
