#that!!

The river starts anywhere water feeds agriculture. But from there, physical water vanishes, replaced by a flow of crops that carry only the memory of the water used to produce them. Crops then travel along the shipping lanes of the global trade system, eventually displacing the water that would have otherwise been used to grow them locally. Thus, water flows from source to destination ‘embedded’ in its products. It is a flow of ‘virtual water’, an idea first developed in the 1980s by the late geographer Tony Allan.

it's from this article, where water flows and flourishes through continents in visible and invisible forms. it's more on the economic, geopolitical side of things, and idt it's exactly like your eunning like water tag, but i hope you do still enjoy reading this it's the first thing i thought when i came across it was your tag aaaaaaa i hope you're doing great! <3

this article is going straight into my (albeit short) list of articles for this tag 🥰🥰 reading this also reminds me of smth my mum used to say when i was young, something something about where there is water, there’s always people to be found (this is a loose translation, but it conveys a really beautiful sentiment in my mother tongue that i can never do it justice)
