Technical Note For the India Water Tool

This technical note details the data indicators and calculations used in the India Water Tool 2.0 (IWT), a high-resolution platform designed to help users identify water risks and prioritize management actions in India.

• The India Water Tool 2.0 (IWT 2.0) was developed by a 14-member Working Group coordinated by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD). This group included ten companies (ACC, Aditya Birla Group, Ambuja, BASF, ITC, Jain Irrigation, Mahindra, Monsanto, Nestle, and PepsiCo) and three knowledge partners: the World Resources Institute (WRI), Confederation of Indian Industry-Triveni Water Institute (CII-TWI), and Skoll Global Threats Fund.
• The IWT 2.0 integrates 14 datasets, including information from the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB), India Meteorological Department (IMD), Ministry of Water Resources (MWR), and Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), alongside water stress models.
• The tool enables users to calculate metrics for reporting to four corporate disclosure initiatives: the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G4 Guidelines, the UN CEO Water Mandate Corporate Water Disclosure Guidelines, the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Water, and the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI).
