Good Stuff International (GSI) recently developed the WaterData4Action service. To showcase WaterData4Action, we applied it to understand the social, environmental and economic effects of nitrogen use on water as a foundation to develop positive action to curb negative effects and bank on opportunities. 

 

GSI was present in Stockholm this year, sharing learnings with the Water Footprint Network on our ENA project: the incorporation of the water footprint assessment to the 316 watersheds in Colombia. We shared the factors of success that led to water footprint knowledge appropriation by IDEAM. By providing these factors we set the ground for future reproductions of this process in other countries.

Diego Arevalo (GSI-LAC) interviews Nelson Omar Vargas, head of the Hydrology section of IDEAM, who explains the benefits of the inclusion of the Water Footprint Assessment in the 2014 Colombian national water study (ENA), as well as its future perspectives.
