– Guidance– Positive Incentives– Fines / Penalties (regulations / pricing / law)
Water Stewardship goes further:
Consumption Impact RESPONSE
RESPONSE through:
Together in the same direction
Going one step further…

Footprinting vs. Stewardship
Reward
Life Cycle Analysis
Impacts
Volume Accounting
Response
Communication
Footprinting: understanding
Stewardship: responding

… with the right tools!
A standard to change behavior towards Sustainable Water Management (SWM)
– Definition of requirements for SWM– Objective scheme to assess the sustainability– Communicate and award sustainable performance
A voluntary scheme for and from water users
– Connect and relate European and global processes– Avoid the “carbon situation”
A global framework
– Developed via a multi-stakeholder process– Complement and support regulatory actions– Recognize and reward water users who take major steps towards SWM– Minimize the impacts at the facility and watershed level

Focus for Standard: Impact-based
Improved water flow regime
Equitable governance
Improved water quality
Protected habitats
Watershed-level targets

Technical assessment is basis but Water is more!Take into account social, political, economic aspects
Program Phase I: Standard Development
1 Standard for all sectors: 4 Principles
Principle 1: Achieve and maintain sustainable water abstraction in terms of water quantity.
Principle 2: Ensure the achievement and maintenance of good status in terms of chemical quality and biological elements.
Principle 3: Restore and preserve water-cycle related high conservation value ecosystems.
Principle 4: Achieve equitable and transparent water governance.

Water example
Impact Water Abstraction
Principle Achieve and maintain sustainable water abstraction in terms of water quantity
Criteria Evaluate water abstraction from all sources- Volume - Location- Timing - Effect
Indicator Classification of sourcesMeasuring water abstraction
- Effect of water abstraction on source- Water source flow regime issues

Key to Success:
Balance Level of Detail - Applicability
Program Phase II: Validation
Pilot StudiesPublic Consultation
Pilot organizations:– provide feedback and expertise– receive first performance analysis

• Application as a voluntary scheme:
Depends on needs from sectors and stakeholders
• For Agriculture:
- Investigate alignment with existing systems
- Link to EU policy (e.g. new CAP)
- Identify multifunctional measures
• Regional Initiative in Global Framework (AWS)
