Two-thirds of the planet is covered by water.
Yet the rivers, lakes and groundwater available to humans and ecosystems represents less than 1% of this total.

Clean water is an essential resource to human life. We use it for personal consumption, for our agriculture, and for our industry.
Yet under current population growth and urbanization trends, as much as two-thirds of the world’s population may live in areas with physical or economic scarcity of this precious resource in as little as 10 years.
In both water scarce and water rich regions, continued growth of agriculture, industry and urban consumption patterns drives both increased demand for clean water and increased costs for controlling pollution and protecting natural ecosystems.
Yet at the same time as water scarcity is intensifying around the world, and water pollution is increasing costs of avoiding ecosystem degradation, extreme weather, floods, and other incidences of excess water are also on the rise.
Managing the implications related to 'too much, too little, or too dirty' water, can be a challenging undertaking. This booklet seeks provide some context to that discussion and a few examples of how leading organisations around the world are managing their water issues.
This booklet sets out:
• A summary of some of the challenges of effectively managing water resources,
• An introduction to PwC’s offerings around the sustainable use and management of water resources,
• A collection of recent case studies highlighting how PwC clients have driven forward their sustainable water strategies,
• A few recent reports we’ve issued on water-related business issues, and
• A listing of contacts around the world who you can speak with about these issues

While much of the earth’s surface is covered by water, over 99% is either saltwater or locked in glaciers (UNEP 2008). While the remaining 1% must serve all our human needs, the world’s fresh water resources also have an important role to play in maintaining our natural ecosystems.
Yet this limited supply of fresh water has done little to slow growth is water demand. Global demand for water has increased sixfold within the past century, more than double the rate of population growth (IWMI 2007). The World Bank estimates that water demand may grow more than 50% between now and 2030 (World Bank 2007).
The UN Food and Agriculture Organisation estimates that 2.8 billion people already live in water-stressed areas and that this could rise to two-thirds of the world’s population by 2025 (FAO 2011).
Water scarcity limits agricultural and industrial contributions to economic growth, contributes to poverty, and exacerbates environmental degradation.

Water quality is a serious concern in both high- and low-income countries
High-income countries
• About 59% of water is used for industrial purposes, which generates high levels of pollutants . More than 80% of the world’s hazardous waste is produced in industrial countries (UN-WWAP 2011).
Low- and middle-income countries
• Although only 10% of water use is for industrial purposes, there is a lack of sufficient treatment facilities. An estimated 70% of industrial wastes in developing countries are dumped untreated into waters where they pollute the usable water supply (UN-WWAP 2011).
Water scarcity exacerbates water quality issues
• In addition to limiting economic growth, contributing to poverty, and causing environmental degradation, water scarcity frequently has the effect of worsening water quality.
• The same drivers that increase water demand – population growth and industrialization – also lead to greater amounts of wastewater discharge.
• Without proper treatment, this wastewater creates serious water quality problems. The water quality challenge is further exacerbated as water scarcity increases, for lower water levels means a higher concentration of pollutants.
Global water issues Increasing levels of water pollution

“Water has been on the Nestlé corporate agenda long before environmental policies and sustainability became an issue; the first wastewater-treatment plant for one of our factories was built back in the 1930s…We have made huge efforts to reduce water withdrawals for our factories. Withdrawals were close to 5 liters per dollar of sales some ten years ago. They are now below 2 liters.”

In recent years record-breaking snowstorms, rains, floods and other water-related natural disasters have impacted developed and developing countries on every continent.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change special report on managing the risks of disasters and extreme weather events portrays clear and growing risks from populations exposed to flood and other water-related natural disasters (IPCC 2012). About 800 million people live in flood-prone areas, and almost one in ten of them is exposed to floods each year. (UNISDR 2011).
Whether water is from severe storms, from coastal storm-surges, from the failure of man-made dikes or other water barriers, or from other sources, businesses need to consider issues related to:
• Impacts on staff
• Impacts on finances and operations
• Impacts on suppliers, and
• Impacts on customers and brands

PwC and water users
Water issues impact not just those in the water sector, but water users as well. From agriculture to extractives to consumer goods and beyond, companies across all sectors are recognizing the importance of water to their operations and building robust water management strategies.
Companies often start this journey by quantifying their water usage and its socio-economic and environmental impacts. From there they are in a better position to put in place systems to manage water-related risks and take advantage of water- linked opportunities. Finally, internal and external stakeholders are increasingly driving water users to disclose their water usage and water stewardship activities.

PwC
Business challenge
The client wished to build its understanding of the relative impacts of environmental, social, and commercial sustainability issues, including water consumption and water emissions (e.g. eutrophication). Its aim was to identify, evaluate and prioritise these issues and their potential impacts for the business across the value chains of its products.
Solution and approach
PwC led a review of two of the client’s leading brands to identify and map top-tier sustainability issues across the value chain for a typical product.
The work included qualitative and quantitative assessment to quantify the water and carbon footprints of the products, using a range of life-cycle analysis techniques, input from internal and external experts, and research of production economics across the product value chain. The analysis identified water as a key issue for prioritisation, especially in water-scarce regions.
The work was then used to support a series of three-day raw materials workshops with the client’s R&D and procurement teams globally. The approach involved developing potential ‘2020 scenarios’ to explore the future implications for sourcing key raw materials.
PwC also helped the client with a similar project focused on a third brand, which involved calculating the water and carbon footprint and analysing water and carbon issues along the product value chain.
Benefits and value
The product sustainability impact assessments conducted by PwC helped the client to understand and prioritise the key issues impacting its businesses. For example, it showed that the greatest impacts were not within the client’s own operations but within its agricultural supply chains.
The assessment was also used to help inform the client’s overall sustain ability strategy.

Business challenge
To help respond to the social and environmental impacts of their business, a global mining giant issued a group requirement whereby facilities that exceed specified water consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission thresholds develop cost curves for GHG and water reduction opportunities.
As a part of this global initiative, we were engaged by the client to investigate and develop greenhouse gas and water abatement cost curves at three mine-site locations.
Solution and approach
Our approach involved:
• conducting and facilitating workshops with local operations to identify abatement opportunities;
• screening and costing the identified projects; and
• modelling the abatement options to derive a cost per unit of greenhouse gas and water abated.
Benefits and value
This assignment was used by the client to identify and prioritise cost effective greenhouse gas and water abatement opportunities for implementation and provide input into a Group level greenhouse gas and water reduction target.

Case studies
Assessment of the private sector experience in PPP water projects in international markets
Helping the IADB finance water infrastructure
PwC prepared a report for the Inter-American Development Bank setting out an approach and a set of tools for the financial structuring of public-private partnership projects, with a particular application to the potable water and sanitation sector. We developed the continuum of solutions available by examining the conflicts the private and the public sectors face under various configurations of local conditions that have a significant impact on investment decisions, and by analyzing the application of risk mitigation tools. The approach and tools are meant to serve as a guide to assist governments and investors in evaluating different options to establish a successful public-private partnership, considering the political and economic realities of each country and the risk mitigation tools that can be implemented.
PwC is supporting the Global Water Resources Association (GWRA), an association of Japanese equipment producers for the water industry, to assess the experience of the private sector in PPPs for water infrastructure in the last 15 years, focusing on potential business opportunities in South East Asia.
Assistance to 4 medium-sized towns to develop PPP options in the water and sanitation sectors
Designing strategies to mitigate scarcity risk for a UK power generator
The first objective of this project was to help the government of Romania and 4 municipalities (Alexandria, Calarasi, Giurgiu and Slobozia) to improve their financial and technical performance and to comply with EU regulations and Directives, especially as regards the evaluation of investment needs, sustainable cost recovery principles and financial strategies. The second objective was to provide an assistance for institutional capacity strengthening.
A major British thermal power generation company, critically dependant on water supplies for power station cooling and ancillary purposes, sought our assistance during a prolonged drought. As pressure from competing users in the shared bulk water system increased, the regional utility developed multiple proposals for managing limited supplies. Most of the proposals would have resulted in a reduction in the reliability of water supply to the company’s primary power station facility. The Board sought our assistance to value the impact of the proposed reduction in supply and to provide advice on strategies to mitigate these risks.
