Besides this definition it has to be stated that the need for a higher volume of water has to be satisfied even this volume will be returned to environment
Dear Andreas, that is the scope of the indicator for Water exploitation index
ok for the definition, as asked in previous comments. Maybe a refference from the 1st part would clarify
wouldn't it be preferrable to explicitly mention that withdrawals concerning some uses of water are excluded, such as hydropower turbined water and navigation channels feeding?
The definition has been revised as the following:
The indicator is addressing to gross volume of water abstraction from groundwater and surface water for electricity generation, cooling for manufacturing industry, agriculture, manufacturing, mining and quarrying and public water supply including losses and leakages, and excluding hydropower and navigation and water returns from the economy back to the environment.
