2.4. Water risk assessment based on water footprint
Enterprise water risk contains physical risk, regulatory risk and
reputation risk (Stuart Orr, 2009, 2011). Among the three risks,
physical risk is closer to water footprint. Physical risk is the direct
risk of water resources. When there are water shortages or water is
seriously polluted, enterprises may face physical risk, which consists
of water quantity risk and water quality risk. In water risk
assessment, water footprint is a useful tool, and three major parts
are involved: water footprint calculation, water risk assessment
and water risk management. Analyzing the water footprint of the
whole enterprise and every production process can provide all the
information for effective and more sustainable water resources
management. Furthermore, enterprises can take management actions
based on the results of water risk assessment.
