Motivation for
assessing a
Water Footprint
• Water scarcity is one of the most important
environmental problems
• Increasing population is aggravating water
problems
• Sustainability has become a key marketing factor
• Public pressure and operational risk make it
relevant for business to assess physical,
regulatory and reputational risks (beyond “green
pioneers”)
