"#WaterStewardship is too important to be a competitive area." The AWS Standard was designed as a common framework for water stewards to talk to each other and take action around a shared understanding of data, challenges and goals. We can learn from and support each other. Join.
#WaterStewardship: We are determined to BE PART of the solution. Carlo Galli, our Head of Sustainability says so in this interview: "Water stewardship is a journey for many". #Caring4Water #WorldWaterDay #WWD

ALT Illustration of a person using SWARM, a web-based platform powered by WEAP. They are on a computer thinking: what if there's less rainfall? What if we release more dam water? And, what if we delay planting rice?

In groundbreaking new study we show the limits to the world’s "green water resources" for food, feed, fiber, timber & bioenergy. The limit to our direct rainwater use has been reached or even exceeded in many places. pnas.org/content/early/2019/…

Why is #cooperation important you say?
Because 153 countries share some 286 #transboundary rivers&lakes and 592 #aquifers!
Operational arrangements, crucial to avoid/reduce depletion or degradation of the waters, cover only 59% of these resources..

Opinion: A scale for measuring water insecurity in the U.S. would be enormously useful as we seek to understand how children and others are impacted by dangerous water, and more importantly, how we can keep them safe. bit.ly/2STNTrO
