From a value-added trade perspective, this study utilizes the world input–output tables and water footprint data of each industry in country Eora database to explore virtual resources 19 countries (the G20 excluding European Union) 2016. We calculated nine value chain decompositions pattern flows then explored implied use due intermediate goods final goods, we also analyzed unequal added among countries. The results indicate following. Firstly, most countries, largest portion is attributed exports inputs that are produced source fully utilized by direct import followed foreign component while smallest share returned country. Secondly, trade, rest (ROW), China, France, Italy, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Africa, Saudi Arabia, Germany net importers between USA exporter water. Thirdly, product dominant form which leads flow ratio about 80% 90%. Lastly, Virtual Water Inequality Index shows thirteen combinations, including Brazil Argentina, exhibit significant inequality, relatively equal state. In addition, economically developed regions benefit more from trade. Therefore, it crucial for reduce their consumption when trading products develop high-value-added low-water-consumption industries choose appropriate targets.
