Water Footprint Assessment

Companies are rethinking sourcing and operations as water risks ripple through global value chains.

Understand your water impact β€” and manage it wisely.

Water is essential to every product, process and supply chain, yet its use often remains invisible. A water footprint assessment helps organisations identify where, when and how water is used β€” and where risks and responsibilities lie.

Scientific assessments, tailored to your operations.

I provide data-driven water footprint analyses grounded in the methodology developed by the Water Footprint Network. During my studies at the University of Twente, I was trained in this method by Professor Arjen Hoekstra, who pioneered the concept. Whether you need insight into production, supply chains or specific regions, I help you quantify blue, green and grey water use and identify pressure points across systems.

Deliverables may include:

  • πŸ—ΊοΈ Water use maps and hotspot analysis
  • πŸ›°οΈ Integration with spatial and satellite data
  • πŸ“Š Clear visual reports and actionable recommendations

For companies, governments and NGOs with a water footprint.

This service is ideal for organisations involved in agriculture, food production, textiles, energy or manufacturing β€” sectors where water use is significant and often geographically dispersed. It also supports reporting and decision-making in sustainability, procurement and policy teams.

From compliance to resilience.

A credible water footprint assessment strengthens sustainability reporting, including CSRD and ESG frameworks. It also helps anticipate supply chain disruption, reputational risks and operational challenges in water-stressed regions. Beyond compliance, it enables smarter strategies that reduce impact and build long-term resilience.
