| Abstract | Due to the insignificant load and improper data records, pesticides were commonly neglected from grey water footprint assessment. In this study, the impact of pesticides on water footprint value of Indonesian dried tea leaves were explored, and water sustainability was assessed from water pollution perspective. The total water footprint value was comprehensively quantified by combining the conventional and the latest grey water footprint methods. It was found that incorporating pesticides into grey water footprint assessment has correctedthe ratio value of each water footprint component of tea. Grey water (27%), which usually minor, was higher than blue water (12%) but still lower than green water (60%). The total water footprint of tea was 3185.5 m3/ton product, indicating that the value has significantlylower than the previous calculation. Moreover, grey water footprint assessment in this study indicates that higher level of toxic and persistent properties of bifenthrin contributes more to the surface water pollution. Therefore, the use of pesticides with lower toxicity and shorter half-life degradation in tea production will strongly promote water sustainability. |
