PROJECT CONSULTANCY Water Footprint
One of the most important elements of sustainable development is “water”.
Water Footprint is a critical tool in protecting water resources, sustainable water management and combating the global water crisis.
The importance of reusing treated wastewater is increasing as global climate change and drought increase the pressure on water resources. Our country develops its water and wastewater management policy by taking into account its current and future water needs in line with the ongoing EU accession process, as well as its increasing population, rapid industrialization and urbanization, and global and regional developments.
Considered with the increasing number of wastewater treatment facilities across the country in parallel with the increasing wastewater infrastructure investments, there is a great potential in the recycling of wastewater.
"water footprints" Evaluation is an important step that has an accelerating effect on ensuring the efficient use of water, making the right decisions regarding fair water allocation for water-using sectors and environmental water use, and adaptation to climate change.
In this context, sectoral water use on a basin basis. It is aimed to carry out studies on the footprint, to integrate the water footprint into sectoral water allocation plans and as a result to prepare a "guidance document on water footprint".
Water calculation of footprint; It can be applied on individuals, products, sectors, cities and countries.ISO 14046 standards, one of the international standards, are used to define the water consumption required to sustain the activities in production and business systems, that is, to calculate the water footprint.
Water footprint and its application in companies have environmental, economic or reputational benefits.
Water Footprint Calculation makes it possible to determine potential environmental or water-related impacts. Water footprint inventory study, For methodology and life cycle purposes Water footprint assessments are made. It is conducted by an independent third party to ensure that the information obtained from the Water Footprint assessment is comprehensive, consistent and transparent. The verification process is carried out.
