"Volumetric Water Benefits (VWBs) are the volume of water resulting from water stewardship activities, relative to a unit of time, that modify the hydrology in a beneficial way and/or help reduce shared water challenges, improve water stewardship outcomes, and meet the targets of Sustainable Development Goal 6.
Volumetric Water Benefit Accounting (VWBA) provides corporate water stewardship practitioners with a standardized approach and set of indicators to quantify and communicate the volumetric water benefits, complementary indicators to measure non-volumetric outputs, and elements of effective water stewardship activities that increase the likelihood of generating social, economic, and environmental benefits and solving shared water challenges."
