Service Description:

Water quality indicates whether water resources are fit for human use and ecosystems alike. Poor water quality – water pollution – can impact business indirectly by causing ecosystems destabilization or serious health issues as well as directly through increased operating costs, and as reduction in production or growth.

The water condition indicator has been calculated separetaly for freshwater and marine areas.

This indicator has already been calculated in the Water Risk Filter (WRF) and has been integrated into the Biodiversity Risk Filter without changes. The Water Risk Filter risk category water quality has been used as the freshwater condition indicator. It considers parameters with well documented direct and indirect negative effects on water security for both humans and freshwater biodiversity, which are aligned to the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.3.2: biological oxygen demand (BOD) as a widely used umbrella proxy for overall water quality; electrical conductivity (EC) as proxy for salinity balance and pH alteration; and nitrogen, to capture nutrient loading in water bodies. See the specific risk indicator layers in the WRF methodology for more details.
Marine water quality was estimated using three datasets: OHIs nutrient pollution and ocean acidification datasets and WRI’s Eutrophication and Hypoxia dataset.
