Water Neutrality – An Overview
Water foot‐printing methodology is likely to provide the technical basis on which a credible concept for improving the visibility and management of water resources can be based. One such approach is ‘water neutrality’. This chapter provides an overview of water neutrality, and also a recommended definition of the term. The process of achieving water neutrality starts at the planning stage of a new development, and the chapter illustrates the suggested overall process. When discussing the concept and delivery of water neutrality, it is important to investigate the fiscal implications and how this concept will be financed. There is currently no overarching funding mechanism for water neutrality. However, the chapter presents some successful international case study examples of fiscal incentives or support for water efficiency.
