I don’t read anything about the large water footprint of growing (=consuming) avocado’s. Is this a theme in the US?

I live in The Netherlands, where avocado’s have grown in popularity too. We import them from Peru, I believe. A region that’s already facing water shortages.[1]

However (just did a Google search) when looking at nutricion value it seems to be doing ok. [2]
