Sustainability
Sustainability is becoming ever increasingly important. Knowing our impact as well as the water footprint we leave is easier to control with water sustainability standards.
ISO/TR 14073:2017
Environmental management - Water footprint - Illustrative examples on how to apply ISO 14046
ISO/TR 14073:2017 provides illustrative examples of how to apply ISO 14046, in order to assess the water footprint of products, processes and organizations based on life cycle assessment.
The examples are presented to demonstrate particular aspects of the application of ISO 14046 and therefore do not present all of the details of an entire water footprint study report as required by ISO 14046.
ISO 14046:2014
Environmental management - Water footprint - Principles, requirements and guidelines
ISO 14046:2014 specifies principles, requirements and guidelines related to water footprint assessment of products, processes and organizations based on life cycle assessment (LCA).
ISO 14046:2014 provides principles, requirements and guidelines for conducting and reporting a water footprint assessment as a stand-alone assessment, or as part of a more comprehensive environmental assessment.
Only air and soil emissions that impact water quality are included in the assessment, and not all air and soil emissions are included.
The result of a water footprint assessment is a single value or a profile of impact indicator results.
Whereas reporting is within the scope of ISO 14046:2014, communication of water footprint results, for example in the form of labels or declarations, is outside the scope of ISO 14046:2014.
ASCE MOP 137/WEF MOP 38-2018

WEF MOP 38 / ASCE MOP 137 describes the best practices for evaluating and improving the energy management and sustainability of water resource recovery facilities.
AWWA G480-2013
Water Conservation Program Operations and Management
This standard describes the critical elements of an effective water conservation program. It encompasses activities undertaken by a utility within its own operations to improve water use on the supply side through distribution system.
