Summary

Introduction

It is with great sadness that we received the news that Tony Allan has passed away on the 15 April 2021. In our recent editorial on water footprint and life cycle assessment, published in March 2021 in Water [1], we aimed to show the background of the methodological dispute between the water footprint (WF) and life cycle assessment (LCA) communities, and call for joint efforts to face the global water challenges. For this reason, we asked Tony Allan to contribute, as a senior in the water research field standing above the two communities. We share comments that were deleted from the original editorial, and information from our discussions
