The water consumption of a range of Thai beef production systems from the Department of Livestock Development farms in Tak province was estimated in 2011. A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) systems model was used to estimate the water consumption for 3 genotypes: Charolais × Brahman (CB), Charolais × Brahman × Native (CBN), and Charolais × Native (CN) fattening cattle. It included direct water consumption for drinking, washing, cleaning and more, as well as virtual water in the diet (that is, water that had been used to grow grass and concentrate feedstuffs). This was partitioned into green water assumed to be equal to the precipitation and the soil water absorbed by the crop. The crop evapotranspiration requirement would be calculated using different complex approaches. The blue water use depended mainly on process water and drinking water consumption. The grey water use depended on process water that caused pollution. Results showed that CB, CN, and CBN cattle had a water footprint averaging 5,078.39, 5,132.17, 5,215.91 kg respectively, for 1 kg of lean meat production. The major water footprint was the green water footprint. This report highlighted the importance of considering water use in context for a tropical climate where crop and grassland water requirements are adequately met by green water from rainfall.
