Global water risk index: Responsible management in environmental risk and water scarcity
Global Water IntelligenceGWRI is a forward-looking database which divides the world’s land mass into around 70,000 squares and examines water supply and water demand in each square.
By pulling together a mass of data on either side of the scarcity equation, combining demographic, socio-economic, natural science, business and policy information it forecasts the potential risk of water scarcity in any one location over the next 30 years.

It contains the results of over 300 trillion calculations. GWRI uses estimated water demand data, juxtaposed with water availability, to show an accurate picture of global water use and demand. This has never been available before.
This powerful tool draws on past trends and current developments collating data from all domestic, agricultural and industrial sectors to give you an accurate picture of global water withdrawal. In a world of growing uncertainty, GWRI is your guide.
