Water Footprint LCA

Fresh water is a scarce resource; its annual availability is limited and demand is growing. The water footprint of humanity has exceeded sustainable levels in several places and is unequally distributed among people. Accurate and comprehensive information about the water footprint of communities and businesses will help to understand how we can achieve a more sustainable and equitable use of fresh water. The water footprint helps to show the existing link between our daily consumption of goods and the problems of water depletion and pollution that exist elsewhere, in the regions where our goods are produced.
