The presentation broke down the water footprint into its three key components:
💧 Blue Water: The consumption of surface and groundwater.
🌳 Green Water: The rainwater stored in the soil.
🌫️ Grey Water: The amount of fresh water required to assimilate pollutants to meet water quality standards.
A key highlight was a comprehensive study calculating the water footprint of the Sakarya province on a district-by-district basis. This vital research helps us understand precisely where and how much water is being consumed across our city. The findings provide crucial insights for developing targeted, region-specific policies to ensure the sustainable management of our precious water resources in Sakarya.
This discussion was a critical step towards building a more water-secure future.
