Water scarcity is one of the top global environmental risks, threatening ecosystems, communities and supply chains alike. A new whitepaper released by Tunley Environmental, Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Water, authored by Tunley’s Senior Sustainability Scientist and Carbon Co-Lead Dr Gareth Davies, breaks down the complexities of water footprinting into simple, actionable insights to help organisations better understand and manage their water impacts.
The whitepaper explores how different types, colours and qualities of water, from green and blue to grey and white, contribute to a business’s total water footprint. It translates scientific water terminology into clear, practical language, showing how companies can reduce consumption, improve reporting accuracy and protect freshwater resources.
Drawing from internationally recognised frameworks such as ISO 14046 and the Water Footprint Assessment Manual, the paper explains the full cycle of water use and highlights why understanding environmental flow requirements is key to preventing regional water stress.
Dr Gareth Davies said, “Our increasing water use in a changing climate is an upcoming crisis we need to address today. It is my hope that through education we can help companies to meaningfully mitigate against this risk.”
Through engaging visuals and accessible explanations, Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Water helps sustainability professionals decode complex water metrics and align with best practice in environmental management.
