Rising temperatures and pressure on water resources increase drought risk, making soil and water conservation and management more important. Mitigating the potentially disastrous human consequences of droughts requires planning for drought effects, as well as prediction and modeling tools. Companies should develop a water policy, understand current water risks, evaluate their water footprint, engage stakeholders, and report externally to help mitigate scarcity.

What is mitigates scarcity?
Rising temperatures and increasing pressure on water resources increase the risk of droughts.
With the climate getting steadily warmer, the need for soil and water conservation and
management becomes steadily more apparent. Planning for the effects of droughts as well as
prediction and modeling tools are key technologies when it comes to mitigating the potentially
disastrous human consequences.
the consultancy says companies should:
 Develop a corporate water policy
 Understand the current state of water risks at the watershed level
 Understand their business’s water footprint, both locally and across the value chain
 Engage internally at the facility or corporate level and externally with local stakeholders to
evaluate the risks and impact
 Report externally and seek independent assurance.
