Resumo: The aim of this article is to examine how the concepts of water footprint and virtual water articulate themselves under an ideological matrix which has been justified by alleged situations of global hydric resources scarcity. Due to the idea of an increasing shortage of water in the world, new discourses on that subject promote strategies to solve the alleged global water crisis without focusing on deep material and cultural changes. We discuss here the nuances of the international agenda for the hydric resources field, which is based in the general idea according to which in order to face the water scarcity, large international corporations should control their increasing need of water using methodologies to calculate the amount they should use as those of water footprint and virtual water.JEL-Code | O13; Q25; Q56.

En razón de la alegada creciente escasez de agua en el mundo, nuevos discursos promueven estrategias ‘resolutivas’ acerca de la temática hídrica, pero sin crear y focalizar cambios materiales y culturales más profundos. Discutimos aquí los matices de la agenda internacional para el área de recursos hídricos, la cual está basada en el argumento de que el combate a la escasez hídrica requiere que las grandes empresas en el mundo pasen a regular su creciente necesidad de agua, usando para eso metodologías como la huella hídrica y el agua virtual.Código JEL | O13; Q25; Q56.O objetivo principal deste artigo é examinar como os conceitos de pegada da água e de água virtual articulam-se sob uma matriz ideológica que se justifica por alegadas situações de escassez de recursos hídricos.
