“With my research team we aim to understand how the world can move towards more sustainable, efficient and equitable water use. Recently we estimated what are maximum sustainable water footprints in river basins across the world, so that governments can avoid overallocation of water. We also develop benchmarks for the water footprint of products, so that companies know how they can reduce their water use to a reasonable level."
