In a recent report, researchers from the University of Twente show how the water footprint concept can be applied to businesses or other sorts of organizations. The water footprint of a business is defined as the total volume of freshwater that is used, directly and indirectly, to produce the goods and services delivered by that business. The water footprint of a business consists of two parts: the operational water footprint and the supply-chain water footprint. The water footprint - also when applied to businesses - is a geographically explicit indicator, not only showing volumes of water use and pollution, but also the locations. Business water footprint accounting can serve different purposes: 1. identify the water-related impacts of the business on its social and natural environment; 2. create transparency to shareholders, business clients, consumers and governments; 3. compare water use across business units for benchmarking and target setting; 4. identify and support the development of policy to reduce business risks related to freshwater scarcity.

This work analyzes the main outcomes and success factors of the water operators’ partnership (WOP) between the Dutch water operators’ organization, VEI (formerly Vitens Evides International), and the Vietnamese water utility, Da Nang Water Supply Joint Stock Company (Dawaco), which took place from 2007 to 2010. The partnership is considered within broader international and regional funding programmes, including parallel national and regional WOPs. The article presents WOPs as key processes in larger operations of water infrastructure development and considers WOPs as relevant strategies that contribute to the improvement of urban water services at a global scale
