    A disaggregation of indicator 6.4.2 “Level of water stress: freshwater withdrawal as a proportion of available freshwater resources” at river basin district level in Italy 2023
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    This report is the presentation of the methodology applied in Italy to spatially disaggregate the computation of the level of water stress from the national to the subnational scale (SDG indicator 6.4.2). Compared to the national assessment, which results in a low level of water stress in the country, the spatial disaggregation of the indicator by the hydrological unit highlighted the presence of basins affected by water stress exceeding 60 per cent (district of the Po river basin). The analysis was performed considering the long-term average of the available fresh water resources calculated on different reference periods (1951-2020, 1961-90, 1991-2020), and this put in evidence the impact of climate change on the level of water stress. This report is part of the series SDG 6.4 MONITORING SUSTAINABLE USE OF WATER RESOURCES PAPERS that collects all the achievements on SDG 6.4. The study was implemented by the Italian Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (ISPRA), responsible for the model and data used to assess the total renewable freshwater resources, and the Italian National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT), which has provided the methodology and the official statistics related to water withdrawals by economic sector (Agriculture, Services, and Industry). The study is the outcome of an agreement between FAO and ISPRA under the Integrated Monitoring Initiative for SDG 6 (IMI-SDG6), designed to produce a map of Italy showing the SDG indicator 6.4.2 “Level of water stress: freshwater withdrawal as a proportion of available freshwater resources” disaggregated at river basin district level.

    Progress on the level of water stress
    Global status and acceleration needs for SDG indicator 6.4.2, 2021
    2021
    The global indicator on water stress tracks the level of pressure that human activities exert over natural freshwater resources, indicating the environmental sustainability of the use of water resources. A high level of water stress has negative effects on social and economic development, increasing competition and potential conflict among users. This calls for effective supply and demand management policies. Securing environmental flow requirements is essential to maintaining ecosystem health, resilient, and available for future generations. This indicator addresses the environmental component of target 6.4. In this report, you can learn more about the progress on the level of water stress globally, by country, and by major basin. More information and the methodological guidance can be found at: www.fao.org/sustainable-development-goals/ indicators/642 This report is part of a series that tracks progress towards the various targets set out in SDG 6 using the SDG global indicators.

    Plugin de stress hydrique pour le système d’évaluation et de planification de l'eau (WEAP)
    Utilisation de l'outil d'évaluation et de planification de l'eau pour le calcul de l’indicateur 6.4.2 des objectifs de développement durable
    2024
    Also available in:

    Ce rapport présente le manuel d'instruction du nouveau plugin de stress hydrique développé par la FAO en collaboration avec le Centre américain de l'Institut de l'environnement de Stockholm pour le calcul de l'indicateur 6.4.2 des ODD "Niveau de stress hydrique: prélèvement d'eau douce en proportion des ressources en eau douce disponibles" par bassin hydrographique. Depuis que l'indicateur a été introduit en 2015, il a été largement utilisé pour estimer le niveau de stress hydrique au niveau national ou régional. Grâce à ce nouveau plugin, les pays seront en mesure d'évaluer L'indicateur 6.4.2 des ODD au niveau des bassins et des sous-bassins, offrant ainsi une vision différente et plus solide sur le plan hydrologique de la dynamique des ressources en eau et de leur utilisation. Le plugin permet d'explorer les tendances spatiales et interannuelles du niveau de stress hydrique au sein d'un bassin en évitant tout comptage multiple de ses ressources en eau douce et en prenant en considération les besoins d'approvisionnement en eau des différentes sections du bassin. En soutenant l'amélioration du suivi et de la gestion des ressources en eau, ce rapport contribue à la réalisation de l'ODD 6.
