About This Data
A leather belt of about 0.2 kilograms embeds roughly 3,420 liters (around 900 gallons). Estimated from the WFN leather figure of about 17,100 liters per kilogram. Source: Water Footprint Network (Mekonnen & Hoekstra), per-item estimate.
Figures are global-average totals (green + blue + grey water) per item and are not California-specific; the crop fact sheets on this site show California consumptive water use (green + blue, excludes grey) per serving, so compare with that difference in mind.
