| Sumario: | The objective of the study was to evaluate the use and consumption of water in bovine milk production in representative cases of the central western area of Santa Fe province. The analysis methods are centered on the Water Footprint methodologies and Life Cycle approach for impact assessment in primary dairy systems. The defined measurement unit is milk kilogram corrected for fat and protein (LCGP). Diverse tools and methodologies for quantifying water consumption were implemented, which made it possible to obtain valuable data on the extent and way in which each system makes use of the resource, with great differences identified. The resource management variables stand out as the most influential. The level of affectation of the systems on the water resource can be improved and/or reduced in systems where they present less efficiency through practices and technologies that optimize their processes. |
