Explore Perspectives

What is a perspective?

Perspectives are different frameworks from which to explore the knowledge around sustainable sanitation and water management. Perspectives are like filters: they compile and structure the information that relate to a given focus theme, region or context. This allows you to quickly navigate to the content of your particular interest while promoting the holistic understanding of sustainable sanitation and water management.

Water Footprint Assessment refers to a whole range of activities that comprise: 1) Quantification and location of the water footprint of a product, process, person, nation etc., 2) Assess the environmental, social and economic sustainability of this water footprint and 3) formulate a response strategy. It is useful for analysing how human activities relate to water scarcity and pollution and on this basis improve the sustainability of water use.
