Keywords:
Water footprint, Water footprint map, Geoinformation technologyAbstract
This research aimed to analyze the amount of water footprint of 55 farms in the Troknong community enterprise, Khlung District, Chantaburi Province in the production year 2016. The findings revealed that an average water footprint for a production of 1 kg of fresh mangosteens was equivalent to 2.01 m3, divided into green water footprint of 1.68 m3 (83.58%), and blue water footprint of 0.33 m3 (16.42%). It was also found that the mangosteen farms with the highest and the least water footprint was of 6.41 and 0.64 m3, respectively. It was suggested that the research findings can be applied in water management for mangosteen farms as well as water usage plan related to a climate change in the future.
