Outstanding data set in Megan Konar's new pub: rdcu.be/dE1WG Here's a quick dataviz of total water use across all crops in Oregon. (working fast & late at night, just preliminary) Total statewide: 2008: 7.2M ac-ft (31% GW) 2020: 6.6M ac-ft (25% GW)

Curious about Oregon's agricultural water use? Here's a 🧵based on just-published data from Megan Konar et al. Paper: rdcu.be/dE1WG

US cities rely on civil infrastructure to access food, energy, and water (FEW) from distant watersheds. In 2017, virtual water transfers via crops and electricity to major cities were 53B & 8B m³, respectively, surpassing physical water transfers. Highways are key for FEW imports
