The amount of water used by a plant primarily in the process of transpiration (evaporative) needs. From a basin water resources perspective, this water is considered to be permanently removed from the basin, because little of the transpired water is expected to return to the same basin as precipitation. 2, record 1, English, - consumptive%20use

Quantité totale d'eau, superficielle et souterraine, consommée en un temps donné par la transpiration des plantes et la formation de leur tissu, ainsi que par l'évaporation du sol cultivé. On l'exprime en unités de volume d'eau par unité de superficie. Elle comprend aussi tous les prélèvements définitifs qui entraînent une diminution des ressources en eau disponibles, par exemple pour la consommation industrielle ou domestique. 2, record 3, French, - consommation%20en%20eau

L'eau est en effet le premier constituant en importance pondérale de la matière vivante, l'eau n'assure pas que l'hydratation des tissus vivants, mais elle est aussi nécessaire à leur fonctionnement. Les animaux consomment généralement assez peu d'eau, de l'ordre du vingtième de leur poids par jour, comparativement aux végétaux. La consommation hydrique journalière de ces derniers atteint facilement leur poids total au printemps ou en été par beau temps, soit de l'ordre de 50 mètres cubes par hectare. L'absorption hydrique des plantes a lieu essentiellement par les racines. 1, record 3, French, - consommation%20en%20eau
