Water does many things: it questions our idea of sustainability; it forces us to rethink the word economics and extend its scope to environmental, as well as to all financial, accounting and political issues. Talking about water (in terms of availability, distribution, use…) means trying to focus on certain issues, first and foremost to promote the possibility of doing things: raising awareness about the need to act upon water resources to ensure their quality; recognizing water as a critical element which may alterate a delicate natural balance; considering everyday behaviors without underestimating emergencies or necessities.

Abstract
Water does many things: it questions our idea of sustainability; it forces us to rethink the word economics and extend its scope to environmental, as well as to all financial, accounting and political issues. Talking about water (in terms of availability, distribution, use…) means trying to focus on certain issues, first and foremost to promote the possibility of doing things: raising awareness about the need to act upon water resources to ensure their quality; recognizing water as a critical element which may alterate a delicate natural balance; considering everyday behaviors without underestimating emergencies or necessities.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
