The webinar will be taught by Prof. Dr. Ashok K. Chapagain, Senior Professor at the University of Free State (South Africa), coauthor of The Water Footprint Assessment Manual: Setting the Global Standard, published in 2011, and experienced scientist with a demonstrated history of working in the field of water resources and environment. He was Science Director of Water Footprint Network from 2013 to mid-2017 and earlier he worked for WWF-UK.

Water Footprint Assessment is a four-phase process that quantifies and maps green, blue and grey water footprints, assesses the sustainability, efficiency and equitability of water use and identifies which strategic actions should be prioritised in order to make a sustainable footprint. Understanding the cumulative picture of water consumption and pollution can help to identify water-related business risks and the strategic actions required to achieve sustainable water use and water resource efficiency.

Water Footprint Assessment of a business offers a new perspective for developing a well-informed corporate water strategy. Understanding the cumulative picture of water consumption and pollution can help to identify water-related business risks and the strategic actions required to achieve sustainable water use and water resource efficiency.

After successfully holding two webinars in 2018, the EsAgua Network continues for sharing the value of the water footprint, promoting the concept and knowledge about this indicator in business, public entities and citizens.
