AWARE Water Scarcity Method (WULCA)

Not this project: an established LCA characterisation method called AWARE, short for Available WAter REmaining, developed by the WULCA working group of the UNEP Life Cycle Initiative. It weights water consumption by how little water remains in a catchment once human and ecosystem needs are met, relative to the world average, on a scale from 0.1 to 100. It is the recommended water use indicator in the EU Environmental Footprint. Readers of AWARE project results may meet both names in the same study.
