  1. There are some interesting papers produced by Michael Norton for RAEng and ICE on the UKs virtual water use. They have been used to drive the topic of conservation. Some of the early work that I think was done by Bouwer in the USA introduce the idea with quite a different slant. This is that countries with more water resources should consider exporting water intense products as opposed to conserving it.

  3. German development institute has carried out a study about Virtual water trade a realistic approach for water conflict. It was little related to the area you are seeking help for. You may get some lead for there study as they also has covered the water conservation issue in there study.
