Water Footprint Assessment is a four-phase process that quantifies and maps green, blue and grey water footprints, assesses the sustainability, efficiency and equitability of water use and identifies which strategic actions should be prioritised in order to make a footprint sustainable. Water Footprint Assessment is used to assess whether water use is environmentally sustainable, resource efficient and equitably allocated. In the sustainability assessment step, we are assessing whether water use is balancing the needs of people and nature, if our limited water resources are being used to the greatest benefit and how fairly we are sharing the waters we use.

As a pioneer in developing the concept of water footprint since its inception in 2002, I’ve an extensive list of research articles, and reports published in this field which can be assessed from my publication page.
