The IMPORTANCE of WATER
Without WATER, a person is dead
in less than three days. In a major
drought, plants die, then animals
and then people.

SO … what are the elements of the
WATER CYCLE?
Without WATER, a person is dead in less than
three days. In a major drought, plants die, then
animals and then people.
Huge amounts of water are needed to grow
almost everything.
Huge amounts of water are needed to make
almost everything.

The CHALLENGES
To use water in a more efficient way so that:
● We have water we need for people;
● We have water to grow what we need;
● We have water to produce what we need
To end water pollution from human activities:
● Runoff from agriculture;
● Effluent from urban areas;
● Wastewater from industrial activities;
● Domestic wastewater.
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
WATER, a product of NATURE
● Purified by natural systems;
● Historically a 'free' good;
● Now, increasingly there are shortages;
● Essential for all forms of life;
People die after 3 days with no water
● Huge amounts used in agriculture;
● Huge amounts used in industrial operations;
● And lots of wastewater and pollution issues
to be addressed

● Quantity of water
● Quality of water
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
WATER POLLUTION
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
WATER is an amazing solvent …
and this is a huge problem
because water dissolves both
good things and very bad things.
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
WATER POLLUTION comes from:
Personal use … gray water;
Storm water run off;
Agriculture run off;
Industrial process effluents;
Industrial process leakages;
Abandoned mines;
Seepage from land fill (waste).
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
WATER POLLUTION examples ...
● Polluted rivers … solid waste;
● Industrial waste water;
● Abandoned mines runoff;
● Deforestation;
● Sediment laden river in China

EOPWater enters a stream … but is this clean water?
The WATER dimension of the
socio-enviro-economic system
depends on the characteristics of
the water sources in the PLACE
… the rainfall, the streams and
rivers, the aquifers and their
replenishment.
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
PROCESSES that use WATER
should be efficient in the context
of the PLACE.
Post PROCESS water should not
pollute the environment.

USES FOR WATER
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
The main uses for WATER:
Personal use … hydration;
Personal use … washing, cooking, etc;
Personal use … landscaping, etc;
Agriculture … irrigation;
Agriculture … livestock husbandry;
Industrial process … manufacturing;
Natural process support;
Water transport losses;
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
The main sources of WATER:
Rain, rivers and surface reservoirs;
Underground aquifers;
Deep old water aquifers;
Desalination systems.
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
Unlike oil and gas, there is no
'man built' system of logistics to
move water around the world.
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
Transport of water is readily
justified based on value … but not
easily justified with the cost and
pricing constructs that are usually
used in financial analysis*
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
* See MDIA discussion on Bottled Water
FINANCIAL AND IMPACT
ACCOUNTING FOR WATER
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
So … how to do the accounting
for impact for water?
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
The amount paid for water is in
the financial accounts.
It is likely that the quantity of
water going into the process is
also recorded as a 'memo' item.
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
It is less likely that the quantity of
water leaving the process is
recorded.
Both the quantity of the water
leaving the process and the
quality of the water is required.
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
The IMPACT is a function of these
PROCESS parameters:
… the consumption of fresh water
i.e. fresh water in less water out;
… the quantity of the water out;
… and the quality of the water out.
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
The IMPACT is also a function of
water sources in the PLACE:
The availability of water from sources that
are replenished naturally (local rain,
rivers etc.)
The stocks of ancient water that may
be mined
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
And the IMPACT is also a function
of water needs in the PLACE:
The essential needs for PEOPLE use;
Less less essential needs for PEOPLE;
The needs of AGRICULTURE;
The needs of INDUSTRY.
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
… the next slide is a graphic that
puts much of this into the MDIA
framework …

Next step … QUANTIFICATION
The next step is to quantify the VALUE of old
water that is mined … the quantification of
resource depletion; and
To quantify the IMPACT or VALUE
DESTRUCTION associated with fresh water
becoming contaminated.
There are 1012
litres in a cubic kilometer of water
A US gallon equals approximately 3.785 litres.
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
Units of Measure …
There are 1012
litres in a cubic kilometer
A US gallon equals approximately 3.785 litres
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
Water Value depends on the
situation …
… and the situation varies from place
to place and the STATE of the water
in the place.
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
WATER DEPLETION
If the VALUE (TrueValueWater or 'tvw') of water
is defined as follows:
The value of 1 (one) litre of fresh water = 1tvw
Then the VALUE of resource depletion in tvw
will be the product of:
Number of litres mined X 1
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
WATER DEGRADATION
When the cost of remediating degraded water
to fresh is $5 per litre
Then the IMPACT of resource degradation will
be:
Litres degraded X $5
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
AND …
When toxic water gets into freshwater
(watershed or groundwater) the IMPACT may
be quantified by reference to the amount of
water impacted and the cost of full
remediation of this amount of water
Litres impacted X ($ remediation cost/litre)
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
AND …
To the extent that toxic water contaminates
freshwater (watershed or groundwater) the
IMPACT may also be quantified by reference
to the amount of land impacted, the amount of
groundwater impacted and the people
population impacted.
This is important because many business operations choose
to ignore these matters when they are in remote locations
with weak regulatory regime
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
AND in addition …
To the extent that toxic water reaches
estuaries and other important ecosystems and
natural habitats, the IMPACT should be
quantified by reference to the damage being
done to ALL the living systems.
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
AND lastly …
To the extent that toxic water reaches the
oceans the IMPACT should be quantified by
reference to the damage being done to this
ecosystem.
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
SOME INTERIM OBSERVATIONS:
It is urgent that some form of numbering and
quantification is applied to water … the flow
and the state.
The idea of 'standard values' can help in the
quantification process … this is an important
next step … stay tuned!

  • 71. The main uses for WATER: Personal use … hydration; Personal use … washing, cooking, etc; Personal use … landscaping, etc; Agriculture … irrigation; Agriculture … livestock husbandry; Industrial process … manufacturing; Natural process support; Water transport losses; MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
  • 72. The main sources of WATER: Rain, rivers and surface reservoirs; Underground aquifers; Deep old water aquifers; Desalination systems. MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
  • 73. Unlike oil and gas, there is no 'man built' system of logistics to move water around the world. MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
  • 74. Transport of water is readily justified based on value … but not easily justified with the cost and pricing constructs that are usually used in financial analysis* MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING * See MDIA discussion on Bottled Water
  • 75. FINANCIAL AND IMPACT ACCOUNTING FOR WATER MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
  • 76. So … how to do the accounting for impact for water? MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
  • 77. The amount paid for water is in the financial accounts. It is likely that the quantity of water going into the process is also recorded as a 'memo' item. MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
  • 78. It is less likely that the quantity of water leaving the process is recorded. Both the quantity of the water leaving the process and the quality of the water is required. MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
  • 79. The IMPACT is a function of these PROCESS parameters: … the consumption of fresh water i.e. fresh water in less water out; … the quantity of the water out; … and the quality of the water out. MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
  • 80. The IMPACT is also a function of water sources in the PLACE: The availability of water from sources that are replenished naturally (local rain, rivers etc.) The stocks of ancient water that may be mined MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
  • 81. And the IMPACT is also a function of water needs in the PLACE: The essential needs for PEOPLE use; Less less essential needs for PEOPLE; The needs of AGRICULTURE; The needs of INDUSTRY. MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING

  • 87. Next step … QUANTIFICATION The next step is to quantify the VALUE of old water that is mined … the quantification of resource depletion; and To quantify the IMPACT or VALUE DESTRUCTION associated with fresh water becoming contaminated. There are 1012 litres in a cubic kilometer of water A US gallon equals approximately 3.785 litres. MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
  • 88. Units of Measure … There are 1012 litres in a cubic kilometer A US gallon equals approximately 3.785 litres MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
  • 89. Water Value depends on the situation … … and the situation varies from place to place and the STATE of the water in the place. MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
  • 90. WATER DEPLETION If the VALUE (TrueValueWater or 'tvw') of water is defined as follows: The value of 1 (one) litre of fresh water = 1tvw Then the VALUE of resource depletion in tvw will be the product of: Number of litres mined X 1 MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
  • 91. WATER DEGRADATION When the cost of remediating degraded water to fresh is $5 per litre Then the IMPACT of resource degradation will be: Litres degraded X $5 MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
  • 92. AND … When toxic water gets into freshwater (watershed or groundwater) the IMPACT may be quantified by reference to the amount of water impacted and the cost of full remediation of this amount of water Litres impacted X ($ remediation cost/litre) MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
  • 93. AND … To the extent that toxic water contaminates freshwater (watershed or groundwater) the IMPACT may also be quantified by reference to the amount of land impacted, the amount of groundwater impacted and the people population impacted. This is important because many business operations choose to ignore these matters when they are in remote locations with weak regulatory regime MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
  • 94. AND in addition … To the extent that toxic water reaches estuaries and other important ecosystems and natural habitats, the IMPACT should be quantified by reference to the damage being done to ALL the living systems. MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
  • 95. AND lastly … To the extent that toxic water reaches the oceans the IMPACT should be quantified by reference to the damage being done to this ecosystem. MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
  • 96. SOME INTERIM OBSERVATIONS: It is urgent that some form of numbering and quantification is applied to water … the flow and the state. The idea of 'standard values' can help in the quantification process … this is an important next step … stay tuned! MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
