What is the total water consumption in cubic meters (m3) in areas at water risk, including areas of high-water stress?
CSRD
To calculate the total water consumption in areas at water risk, including areas of high-water stress, follow a similar process as calculating total water consumption, but with an additional focus on identifying and filtering the sites in high-risk regions:
Identify Sites in Water-Risk Areas:
Determine which of your company's operational sites are located in areas at water risk, including high-water stress regions. These might be identified through tools such as the Water Risk Filter, Aqueduct, or local assessments.
If needed, use regional water stress maps or industry data to determine which regions are classified as high water risk.
Collect Water Consumption Data for At-Risk Sites:
Gather water consumption data for the identified sites located in these high-risk or stressed areas.
Ensure that this data is recorded in cubic meters (m³) for consistency.
Aggregate Data for At-Risk Sites:
Sum the water consumption for each site in these high-water stress or high-risk areas to calculate the total consumption for such regions.
Formula:
Total Water Consumption in High-Risk Areas (m³)=∑Water Consumption per At-Risk Site (m³)
Time Period:
Make sure to use data from a consistent time period (e.g., annually) when performing this calculation.
