Additional Metric Notes

ACT-D stage: Assess Maturity stage: Developing Metric Contribution to Action: Monitoring this metric helps improve water use efficiency by linking consumption to economic outputs. Observations/Sucesses/Challenges: > Provides insight into how water usage scales with production or economic output. > Does not reflect total water impact > Higher revenues do not necessarily mean better environmental performance. > May not account for local water stress
