8. 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. MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING

9. 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 MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING

56. USES FOR WATER MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING

57. 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

58. The main sources of WATER: Rain, rivers and surface reservoirs; Underground aquifers; Deep old water aquifers; Desalination systems. MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING

59. Unlike oil and gas, there is no global system of logistics to move water around the world. MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING

60. 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

61. FINANCIAL AND IMPACT ACCOUNTING FOR WATER MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING

62. So how to do the accounting for impact for water? MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING

63. 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

64. 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

65. 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

66. 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

67. And the IMPACT is also a function of water needs in the PLACE: The need for PEOPLE use essential needs; The need for PEOPLE use less-essential; The needs of AGRICULTURE; The needs of INDUSTRY. MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING

68. the next slide is a graphic that puts much of this into the MDIA framework MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING

70. The value of RESOURCE DEPLETION associated with the mining of old water that does not replenish has to be quantified ... MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING

71. and the reason for the agriculture and the industrial production is so that PEOPLE have the food and 'stuff' they need to maintain their lifestyle. MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING

73. 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. MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING

74. 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

75. 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

76. 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

77. 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

78. 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

79. 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

80. 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

81. Requesting collaboration The prevailing metrics for our complex socio-enviro- economic system are inadequate. Conventional money accounting works for corporate profit performance, but does not work well for impact on society, impact on the environment or future risks. The work of MDIA is to enable metrics so that this complex system works better. MDIA needs to be a team effort. Please join in and help to make the world a better place. Please get in touch.
