Water Footprint

Water footprint is an environmental indicator that shows the amount of freshwater directly and indirectly consumed or polluted by a person, product, process, sector, or country over a given period. It quantifies the pressure on water resources by taking into account the volumes of blue, green, and grey water used throughout the production chain.

In a world where the risk of water crisis is increasing, sustainable planning is impossible without knowing the real impact of production and consumption on water. Water footprint analysis reveals efficiency and savings opportunities by making water-intensive activities and supply chain risks visible.
