The WULCA consensus characterization model for water scarcity footprints: assessing impacts of water consumption based on available water remaining (AWARE)
Anne-Marie Boulay,Anne-Marie Boulay,Jane C. Bare,Lorenzo Benini,Markus Berger,Michael J. Lathuillière,Alessandro Manzardo,Manuele Margni,Masaharu Motoshita,Montserrat Núñez,Amandine Pastor,Amandine Pastor,Bradley G. Ridoutt,Bradley G. Ridoutt,Taikan Oki,Sebastien Worbe,Stephan Pfister +16 more
TL;DR: This method represents the state of the art of the current knowledge on how to assess potential impacts from water use in LCA, assessing both human and ecosystem users’ potential deprivation, at the midpoint level, and provides a consensus-based methodology for the calculation of a water scarcity footprint as per ISO 14046.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of methods addressing freshwater use in life cycle inventory and impact assessment
Anna Kounina,Anna Kounina,Manuele Margni,Manuele Margni,Jean-Baptiste Bayart,Anne-Marie Boulay,Markus Berger,Cécile Bulle,Rolf Frischknecht,Annette Koehler,Annette Koehler,Llorenç Milà i Canals,Masaharu Motoshita,Montserrat Núñez,Gregory Peters,Stephan Pfister,Stephan Pfister,Bradley G. Ridoutt,Rosalie van Zelm,Francesca Verones,Sebastien Humbert +20 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed a multitude of methods and indicators for freshwater use potentially applicable in life cycle assessment and identified the key elements to build a scientific consensus for operational characterization methods for LCA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water Footprinting: How to Address Water Use in Life Cycle Assessment?
TL;DR: An overview of a broad range of methods developed to enable accounting and impact assessment of water use can be found in this article, where a critical review revealed that methodological scopes differ regarding types of water usage accounted for, inclusion of local water scarcity, as well as differentiation between watercourses and quality aspects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding the LCA and ISO water footprint: A response to Hoekstra (2016) “A critique on the water-scarcity weighted water footprint in LCA”
Stephan Pfister,Anne-Marie Boulay,Markus Berger,Michalis Hadjikakou,Masaharu Motoshita,Tim Hess,Bradley G. Ridoutt,Jan Weinzettel,Laura Scherer,Petra Döll,Alessandro Manzardo,Montserrat Núñez,Francesca Verones,Sebastien Humbert,Kurt Buxmann,Kevin G. Harding,Lorenzo Benini,Taikan Oki,Matthias Finkbeiner,Andrew D. Henderson +19 more
TL;DR: The role and goal of LCA and ISO-compatible water footprinting are explained and there is potential to use synergies in research for the two approaches and the need for proper declaration of the methods applied is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water accounting and vulnerability evaluation (WAVE): considering atmospheric evaporation recycling and the risk of freshwater depletion in water footprinting.
TL;DR: The water accounting and vulnerability evaluation (WAVE) model is introduced, which can help to interpret volumetric water footprint figures and, thus, promotes a sustainable use of global freshwater resources.
