About This Item
TS EN ISO 14002-2 provides guidance for organizations that want to address water-related environmental aspects within an environmental management system based on ISO 14001. It helps organizations understand water issues linked to quantity and quality, including water withdrawal, efficient water use, water discharge, and responses to water-related events such as flooding and droughts.
In general technical terms, water management is not limited to controlling internal consumption. Because water is closely connected with ecosystems, ecosystem services, biodiversity, and human well-being, an organization’s activities can both affect and be affected by water conditions. Assessing water-related risks and opportunities therefore supports a broader and more realistic view of environmental performance.
