Usage Guidance
-
This metric is intended to capture the total potential lifetime potable water produced or provided by products sold during the reporting period. For example, an organization that sells home water pumps that provide homeowners with drinking water should report the total potable water the pump can deliver over its expected lifetime.
-
Potable water is safe enough for human consumption or use for domestic purposes, drinking, cooking, and personal hygiene with low risk of immediate or long-term harm.
-
When multiplying the potable water provision capacity of each product sold by Units/Volume Sold: Total (PI1263), organizations should, under Units/Volume Sold: Total (PI1263), use the absolute number of product units sold rather than the volume of potable water provided by the product.
