The SEEAW and water-related indicators

1. The SEEAW and water-related indicators Ilaria DiMatteo United Nations Statistics Division

2. Outline • Why deriving indicators from the SEEAW • Examples of indicators • Link with indicators from the 2nd WWDR

3. Why deriving indicators from the SEEAW The SEEAW allows for the derivation of precisely defined, consistent and interlinked hydrological–economic indicators, which can be used for • monitoring • analyses of possible causes of changes

4. Examples of indicators • Water abstraction by sector and by sources • Water discharge by sector • Water abstraction/GDP by sector • Water abstraction/number of employee • Water abstraction per capita • Water consumption by sector • Cost recovery – Is the government recovering the costs of collection, purification, distribution and treatment of water through the fees charged?

5. 38 Indicators from the 2nd WWDR Organized by challenge areas: Global* (8), Resources (9), Agriculture (7), Industry (5), Energy (6), Valuing (4), Sharing* (5), Governance (2), Health (6), Risk (3), Ecosystems (5), Knowledge (1) and Settlements (3)

6. Indicators from the 2nd WWDR of the 38 indicators 21 can be derived from the accounts 5 can be partially derived from the accounts 4 social indicators, 3 related to land area  land accounts 3 related to energy  energy accounts 2 cannot be derived from the accounts

7. Asset accounts Physical SUT SEEAW and 2nd WWDR indicators GLOBAL challenge area Index of non sustainable water use: Q-DIA or Q-A Q = renewable freshwater resources D = domestic water use I = industrial water use A = agriculture water use

8. Asset accounts Physical SUT SEEAW and 2nd WWDR indicators GLOBAL challenge area Relative water stress: DIA/Q Q = renewable freshwater resources D = domestic water use I = industrial water use A = agriculture water use

9. Asset accounts Asset accounts SEEAW and 2nd WWDR indicators RESOURCES challenge area Annual precipitation Total actual renewable resources and its variants

10. monetary accounts Asset accounts SEEAW and 2nd WWDR indicators AGRICULTURE challenge area Relative importance of agriculture in the economy Share of GDP generated by Agr. Relative importance of agriculture withdrawals in water balance Abstraction by agr./renewable water resources

11. Physical SUT Physical SUT SEEAW and 2nd WWDR indicators INDUSTRY challenge area Trends in industrial water use Abstraction by industry Water use by sector Water abstraction by sector (industry, agr., services, hh)/total abstraction

12. Hybrid accounts emission accounts SEEAW and 2nd WWDR indicators INDUSTRY challenge area Industrial water productivity Value added/abstraction Organic pollution emission by industrial sector

13. physical SUT SEEAW and 2nd WWDR indicators ENERGY challenge area Volume of desalinated water produced

14. asset accounts Indicators partially derived from SEEAW INDUSTRY challenge area Climate moisture index Plant water demand/precipitation

15. monetary accounts Indicators partially derived from SEEAW VALUING challenge area Ratio of actual to desired level of public investment in water supply actual investment/desired investment
