Research Abstract |
In order to evaluate the environmental loads by human usage of water resources in and out of river basin, Virtual Catchment Area(VCA) indicator was developed in this research. VCA indicator is the conceptual indicator that estimates the overall impact of human consumption on freshwater resources in and out of river basin. As results of application VCA indicator to several branch watersheds in Abukuma river basin, virtual water usage overshoots the amount of available water resources.
