The methods, AWARE?available water remaining, and BWSI?blue water scarcity index, were applied monthly for the year 2018, and the characterization factors (CF) were regionalized into five scenarios evaluated by varying water availability and environmental water requirements. Livestock water consumption accounted for 94.1% of the total water consumed. Low water scarcity was observed in all scenarios (BWSI < 0). The highest CFAWARE was observed in scenario 3, ranging from 2.15 to 9.70 m3 world eq.m3, with higher water scarcity in summer. In the same scenario, pig production presented the highest annual average water scarcity footprint (WSF) of 90.3 m3 world eq./t carcass weight. Among milk production systems, pasture-based systems presented the highest annual average WSF of 52.7 m3 world eq./t fat protein corrected milk, surpassing semi-confined and confined systems by 12.4% and 3.5%, respectively. In scenario 3, poultry production presented an annual average WSF of 49.3 m3 world eq./t carcass weight. This study contributes knowledge to the livestock sector to perform the assessment of water scarcity. dc:creator: Sofia Helena Zanella Carra, Katrin Drastig, Julio Cesar Pascale Palhares, Taison Anderson Bortolin, Hagen Koch and Vania Elisabete Schneider dcterms:created: 2023-11-14T09:53:05Z Last-Modified: 2023-11-15T10:00:33Z dcterms:modified: 2023-11-15T10:00:33Z dc:format: application/pdf; version=1.7 title: Impact Assessment of Livestock Production on Water Scarcity in a Watershed in Southern Brazil "2279 Last-Save-Date: 2023-11-15T10:00:33Z pdf:docinfo:creator_tool: LaTeX with hyperref access_permission:fill_in_form: true pdf:docinfo:keywords: AWARE; blue scarcity index; domestic water consumption; environmental water requirement; livestock water consumption; technical water pdf:docinfo:modified: 2023-11-15T10:00:33Z meta:save-date: 2023-11-15T10:00:33Z pdf:encrypted: false dc:title: Impact Assessment of Livestock Production on Water Scarcity in a Watershed in Southern Brazil "2279 modified: 2023-11-15T10:00:33Z cp:subject: This study presents the assessment of water scarcity associated with livestock production in a watershed in Southern Brazil where 115 farms (poultry, pig, and milk) are located.
