Water stress Water stress refers to the ability, or lack thereof, to meet human and ecological demand for water. Compared to scarcity and shortage, water stress is a more inclusive and broader concept. It considers water scarcity, but also water quality, environmental flows, and the accessibility of water(Schulte, 2020).

According to the definition of 'Water Stress', WEI+ cannot be an indicator of water stress because WEI+ does not consider water quality.
WEI+ defines the quantiative aspect of the water stress and is widely accepted by the scientific community. It is used also as part of monitoring the UN SDG Agenda 2030.
