- Determinação da pegada hídrica na fileira vitivinícola: resultados preliminares de um estudo de caso portuguêsPublication . Saraiva, Artur; Egipto, R.; Presumido, P.; Jorge, C.; Amaral, A.; Ribeiro, A.C.; Dias, Igor; Feliciano, M.; Ferreira, Albertina; Ferreira, Luís; Gonçalves, A.; Grifo, Anabela; Mamede, H.; Mira, Helena; Mota de Oliveira, Maria Adelaide; Silva, P.O.; Paulo, Ana; Ribeiro, A.; Rodrigues, G.; Silvestre, J.; Ramôa, S.; Oliveira, MargaridaAs alterações climáticas e a escassez de água daí decorrente têm levantado preocupações junto do setor agrícola, e em particular na fileira vitivinícola, devido ao impacto que esta tem na produção e qualidade do vinho. O uso eficiente dos recursos naturais e a subsequente redução dos custos de produção através da adoção de práticas mais sustentáveis é hoje um objetivo dos vitivinicultores. O projeto WineWATERFootprint pretendeu avaliar a pegada hídrica na fileira vitivinícola através do desenvolvimento de uma metodologia aplicada a estudos de caso. Os resultados do primeiro ano de projeto revelam que a pegada hídrica verde representou cerca de 70% da pegada hídrica total, tendo sido a pegada hídrica da vinha aquela com maior relevância, representando cerca de 98% do total. De um modo global, os resultados demonstram que a pegada hídrica anual calculada foi de 368 L de água, por garrafa de vinho de 0,75 L, o que se revelou inferior a outros estudos desenvolvidos na região do Mediterrâneo. Ainda assim, a determinação da pegada hídrica na vinha e na adega, bem como a avaliação da sua sustentabilidade, através da análise de ciclo de vida, permitiu identificar pontos críticos e ineficiências na vinha e no processo de produção. Esta metodologia aplicada à fileira constitui um modelo de avaliação da sustentabilidade do produto, com indicadores concretos que permitem mitigar os potenciais impactes decorrentes da sua produção.
- Molecular and hydraulic responses of grapevine to water status and phenology under long-term differential irrigation treatmentsPublication . Damásio, M.; Pinto, C.; Salguero, J.; Alarcón, M. V.; Deus, J.; David, T. S.; Silvestre, J.; Carvalho, L. C.; Zarrouk, OlfaUnderstanding seasonal interactions among hydraulic, chemical and molecular signalling under water deficit is crucial for improving vineyard irrigation strategies under climate change and increasing water scarcity. We aimed to test how irrigation strategies and phenology affect the hydraulic adjustment mechanisms of eight fieldgrown grapevine varieties under different long-term irrigation regimes: Full-irrigated (100 % ETc), deficitirrigation (50 % Full-irrigated), and non-irrigated. Leaf pre-dawn water potential, leaf hydraulic conductivity (Kleaf), stomatal conductance, aquaporin gene expression and hormone content, were assessed at four key phenological stages, from pea-size to post-harvest. Stomatal closure was the earliest water-stress response across genotypes, while hormonal balance differentiated responsive from non-responsive genotypes regarding chemical signalling. Kleaf was primarily driven by phenology, peaking at early stages and declining thereafter. Aquaporin gene expression was both genotype- and phenology-dependent, with high activity during early stages followed by progressive down-regulation, aligned with changes in stomatal conductance and Kleaf and reflecting each variety iso-/anisohydric behaviour. This pattern confirms the role of aquaporins in grapevine hydraulic adjustments and stomatal regulation under decreasing water potentials. Aquaporins and Kleaf showed positive responses to water availability at post-harvest, indicating differential watering benefits among genotypes. Our results emphasize the need for field-phenotyping studies to fine-tune water management strategies in viticulture.
- The impact of the winery's wastewater treatment system on the winery water footprintPublication . Saraiva, Artur; Rodrigues, G.; Mamede, H.; Silvestre, J.; Dias, Igor; Feliciano, M.; Silva, P. O.; Oliveira, MargaridaIn the Mediterranean region, water scarcity has already prompted concern in the wine sector due to the strong impact it has on vineyard productivity and wine quality. Water footprint is an indicator that takes account of all the water involved in the creation of a product and may help producers to identify hotspots, and reduce water consumption and the corresponding production costs. In recent years several studies have been reported on wine water footprint determination, but mostly focused on the viticulture phase or assuming no grey water footprint at the winery since it has a treatment system. In the framework of the WineWaterFootprint project a medium-size winery was monitored, with direct measurements, regarding determination of the blue and grey components of water footprint. The determined winery water footprint ranged from 9.6 to 12.7 L of water per wine bottle of 0.75 L, the wastewater produced being responsible for about 98%, which means that the grey component cannot be disregarded. The developed scenarios show that a potential reduction of 87% in winery water footprint can be obtained with almost no investment. The challenge of reducing the grey footprint is not in technology development, but rather in the proper maintenance and monitoring of treatment systems.
- WATERFootprint of wine chain: comparison between two case studies portuguesePublication . Saraiva, Artur; Egipto, R.; Presumido, P.; Jorge, C.; Amaral, A.; Castro Ribeiro, A.; Ferreira, Albertina; Goncalves, A.; Grifo, Anabela; Oliveira, M.A.; Paulo, Ana; Ribeiro, A.; Rodrigues, G.; Mamede, H.; Mira, Helena; Silvestre, J.; FERREIRA, LUÍS; Dias, Igor; Feliciano, M.; Oliveira e Silva, P.; Ramoa, S.; Oliveira, MargaridaWater scarcity caused by climate change and its implications on grape production and quality have raised concerns among wine producers. The adoption of sustainable practices is now a goal of winemakers since the efficient use of resources allows them to reduce production costs. The WineWaterFootprint project evaluated the water footprint in the wine industry through the development of a methodology applied to two case studies, along two years of monitoring. The results show that the water footprint of the vine is the production phase with the greatest impact, representing more than 98% of the total value. In the case study I the green water footprint is the most relevant component while in the case study II is the blue water footprint, accounting for about 70% and 55% of the total value, respectively. Overall, the water footprint ranged from 370 to 610 L of water per bottle of wine produced (0.75 L) and is therefore similar to other studies reported in the Mediterranean region. The evaluation of the sustainability of the water footprint, through the analysis of life cycle, allowed also the identification of critical points. Water reuse is a way of reducing the impact of wine production on natural resources.
