- Title
- Description
- This study examines the usage of water-related data as a method of improving water allocation systems to balance the social, economic and environmental benefits of water resources. It highlights the key issues for which water data is necessary (water for food production, growing urban populations, wastewater collection and treatment, water footprint of major businesses, vulnerability of populations to extreme events and the impact of water abstraction and pollution on natural environments and ecosystems), summarises water data definitions and sources, examines constraints on better water monitoring and reporting and looks at international initiatives for valuing the environment in national accounting. This study was published by UNESCO in 2012.
