DO you know how much water is needed to bring you that cup of coffee in the morning? The answer is 140 litres.

It takes 2,300 litres of water to produce a kilo of rice. And take note, those who love steak: a kilo of beef requires 15,500 litres of water to produce it. That includes the water that goes into feeding and maintaining the cow that eventually ends up on your plate.
