World Resources Institute: Aqueduct - Measuring and Mapping Water Risk

Abstract:

The World Resources Institutes' Aqueduct project identifies, measures, and maps the key indicators that drive water risk with an unprecedented level of detail. Aqueduct's maps, and the comprehensive database of water information at their core, are designed to: 1. Help companies and investors understand the strategic importance of reducing water risk exposure in high stress areas. Aqueduct can help users identify potential sources of water risk in their operations and supply chains, and select and implement the right risk mitigation solutions. 2. Encourage public sector leaders to collaborate with water users and communities to achieve more equitable, efficient and sustainable water resources management in water-stressed basins. 3. Highlight trends and opportunities for innovative solution providers creating the next generation of water management technologies, techniques, and policies.
