Water: our global impact
Summary
Water is one of our most precious resources, yet we are over consuming and misusing fresh water and polluting our supplies.

It explores the issues related to the UK and EU import of water through imported products and provides actions for governments, businesses and consumers to help protect freshwater supplies.
