The activities that contain hidden water usage are:

  1. Growing cattle feed - This involves significant water usage for crop irrigation and growing feed for livestock.

  2. Growing cotton to make fabric - Cotton farming requires a large amount of water, making it a water-intensive crop.

  3. Processing and dyeing fabric - This process often involves water for rinsing, dyeing, and finishing fabrics, contributing to hidden water usage.

Washing dishes and drinking typically involve direct water usage, but the water footprint of growing food and manufacturing processes has more hidden water implications.
