Session ID#: 13730

Session Description:
Water Footprint Assessment research expands scientific knowledge on the interactions between water use, scarcity and pollution in relation to the production and consumption of water-intensive goods and services. It is an interdisciplinary field of research that typically analyses how water is used and managed in the global economy to meet the demand for food, energy and industrial goods and services. It focuses on how goals for sustainable water use translate into coherent agricultural, energy, tax and trade policies by drawing together the science of core hydrology and combining it with human interventions, both from quality and quantity perspectives. This session will primarily focus on: monitoring and achieving the water-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); new data (e.g. use of Remote Sensing), tools and development indicators; water productivity and efficient water use, water related risk assessment and stewardship approaches; and practices and governance that contribute to sustainable, efficient, and equitable water use.
