The effect of globalisation on water consumption: A case study of the Spanish virtual water trade, 1849–1935

This paper aims to analyse the impact on water consumption of trade expansion in the first era of globalisation. To that end, we have chosen the case of Spain, a semi-arid country with significant cyclical water shortages.
