WWD2021: This year’s conversation about water’s valuation takes place in five perspectives: valuing water sources (in-situ water resources and ecosystems); valuing water infrastructure, both natural and built infrastructure, for water storage, use, reuse or supply augmentation; valuing water services (drinking water, sanitation and related human health aspects); valuing water as an input to production and socioeconomic activities (e.g. food and agriculture, energy and industry, business and employment, transport); and socio-cultural values of water (e.g., recreation, spiritual).
