A major part of State’s water resources is used, as "virtual water", to produce agricultural products. Today smart trade of virtual water is considered as a way to conflict the world's water crisis. This research has answered the question of what capacities does the legal framework of world trade organization (WTO) have to for managing and facilitating virtual water trade? The primary hypothesis is that WTO can facilitate the smart trade of virtual water by removing trade barriers. This study through the descriptive-analytical method and using library resources indicate that only trade liberalization, regardless of the economic value of water in the production process, does not facilitate virtual water trade in line with the management of global water resources. Also, although the management of import and export of goods based on the amount of water consumed in the production process, seems to violate the principle of non-discrimination, but some exceptions in the agreements in this organization can facilitate virtual water trade and reduce the water crisis. Using the capacities of this organization to remove agricultural subsidies disrupting the virtual water trade and evaluating the water footprint through the creation of a labeling system are other ways to facilitate this trade.
