Abstract

IntroductionIran is a country with arid and semi arid Climate. More than 94 percent of the water resources of the country is being used in the agriculture sector. This makes agriculture the main sector that uses water in IRAN. With the increasing water scarcity in IRAN, the VIRTUAL WATER content became an important subject in water resources management studies. VIRTUAL WATER is defined as the volume of water required to produce a commodity or service (Allan, 1998). When these goods or commodities enter the global market, VIRTUAL WATER trade will occur. Zimmer and Renault (2003) estimated the global VIRTUAL WATER trade between nations as 1340×109 cubic meters in 2000. Of this total value, 60% was related to the vegetal products trade, 14% to the fish and seafood trade, 13% to the animal products (non-meat) trade, and 13% to the meat trade. The VIRTUAL WATER trade related to the crop and the livestock product trade was about 17% of the total water used for crop production (Chapgain & Hoekstra, 2003). The present study quantifies the IRANian VIRTUAL WATER trade related to the AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS according to the global studies on the VIRTUAL WATER flows (Hoekstra and Hung, 2002 and 2005, Zimmer and Renault, 2003, Oki et al., 2003, Chapagain and Hoekstra, 2003, and De Fraiture et al., 2004). This study focuses on the agricultural commodities due to their major part in global water use (Postel et al., 1996).
