    Virtual water refers to the amount of water used to produce goods and food. Various products require significant amounts of virtual water, such as 8,000 liters for a pair of shoes, 10 liters for a sheet of paper, and 30,000 liters for a computer. Waste water comes from human waste, septic tanks, washing, rainfall, industrial sites, and highways. Waste water is treated through waste water treatment plants, on-site sewage facilities, and wetland treatment plants. Water issues include lack of access to clean water for Indians due to high Coca-Cola consumption and the drying of the Aral Sea from water diversion for cotton farming.
