British geographer Prof John Anthony Allan has received an award from the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation for his work on water security.

He introduced the idea of "virtual" water, whereby the amount of water used in food production can be traded when that food is imported or exported.

The awards were presented a ceremony in Monaco on Monday evening.  The two other winners were US environmental scientist Jane Lubchenco and Spanish geologist Jeronimo Lopez.
