The study Water footprint and ACV Aware indicator: practices and recommandations (commissioned by SCORE LCA), examines how water-related impacts are addressed in product- and system-level Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). It analyzes current corporate and industrial practices in relation to existing methodological frameworks, including the application of ISO 14046 on water footprinting and the use of the AWARE impact assessment method, adopted under the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) framework. The primary objective is to provide structured feedback on how water-related impacts are effectively handled in product and system LCAs: do organizations implement the comprehensive ISO 14046 framework, and if so, how, or do they rely primarily on a single impact assessment method such as AWARE? The study also includes an applied case study using the AWARE method to assess its strengths and limitations, particularly regarding practical applicability. The analysis addresses data quality and completeness requirements, the relevance of geographical and temporal scales, interpretation challenges, the selection of appropriate LCA software tools, and methodological consistency with the ISO 14046 framework.
