Initiatives and Standards – Overview/ Examples
7
• Risk assessment:
• CDP Water Disclosure (revised questionnaire 2014)
• WBCSD Global Water Tool
• Aqueduct Tool of WRI (World Resources Institute)
• Management
• Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS): Version 1.0 launched
2014
• Environmental assessment (Water footprint)
• ISO Standard 14046
• Water footprint Network - Water Footprint Assessment Manual
• UNEP-SETAC working initiative “Water use in LCA”
![Page 8: Best Practice LCA - Gabi software...Initiatives and Standards –Overview/ Examples 7 •Risk assessment: •CDP Water Disclosure (revised questionnaire 2014) •WBCSD Global Water](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050601/5fa8867fec1af84b3362348b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ISO Standard 14046 Water Footprint
A water footprint assessment conducted according to this
International Standard:
• is based on a life cycle assessment (according to ISO 14044);
• is modular (i.e. the water footprint of different life cycle stages can be
summed to represent the water footprint);
• identifies potential environmental impacts related to water;
• includes relevant geographical and temporal dimensions;
• identifies quantity of water use and changes in water quality
• utilizes hydrological knowledge

UNEP-SETAC working initiative “Water use in LCA”
Goals:
• Recommendations for scientists and practitioners
Outputs:
• Framework for water assessments and water footprinting
• Review of methods and further developments of methods
• Final goal: Harmonized method for water use in LCA
Alignment with ISO standard

Water Footprint Network
- Calculates the amount of water
used/consumed or polluted (degraded) for a
product/company/region/nation
- “Water footprint” of WFN = total water
volume inventory method
Helpful for awareness raising and overall water
flow mapping and regional management but
NOT useful for corporate, supply chain, and
product sustainability assessments

● based on a life cycle assessment
● identifies quantity of water use and changes in water quality
● stand-alone assessment or as part of a life cycle assessment
● the term “water footprint” is only used when it is the result of an
impact assessment
● water footprint: metric(s) that quantify(ies) the potential
environmental impacts related to water
● If water related impacts have not been comprehensively
assessed, then the term water footprint can only be applied with a
qualifier.

• a set of different calculations, umbrella term rather than to
communicate a single number
Examples
• Water scarcity footprint: weighting of water consumption with
water scarcity index
• Water availability footprint: considers reduced availability due
to changes in water quality
• Water footprint profile: quality aspects considered through
standard LCA indicators like eutrophication, acidification and
toxicity

Terminology for Water inventories
• Water use umbrella term: all types of anthropogenic water uses
• Characterization of water use types - degredative vs. consumptive:
• Degradative use (water degradation): Water used and released into
the same watershed it was withdrawn from (wastewater, cooling
water) (possibly with degraded quality)
• Consumptive use (water consumption): Evaporation, product
integration, water transfers to different river basins, release to sea
water loss on watershed level

• Characterization of water use types - green vs. blue:
• green water: rainwater and moisture stored in soil that evaporates during
production process, mainly during crop growth (evapotranspiration)
• blue water refers to surface and groundwater applied (e.g. irrigation in crop
cultivation)
• Characterization of water use types - in-stream vs. off-stream:
• In-stream use (hydroelectric generation, water transport, damming)
• Off-stream use: (total) withdrawal from water body (irrigation, water supply,
cooling)

Challenge
● Understanding water use and water
consumption of
T-Shirts and its environmental relevance
Solution
● Water footprint study for cotton T-Shirts
according to the latest water footprint
methodology
● Focus on onsite manufacturing, all upstream
processes and different water types
● Assessment of the local water scarcity at the
different points of water withdrawal
Benefit
● The study revealed the significance of upstream
processes for the product water footprint
● Integration of the result into the water strategy
of the company
Reference
“Using the results of Anvil Knitwear’s first water
footprint assessment, we are working on a
fiber diversification and sustainability scorecard
that takes into account the impact of water in
our agricultural supply chain,”
Caterina Conti
Anvil’s Executive Vice President and Head of Sustainability
