The Water Poverty Index

This water poverty index is a first pass at trying to establish an international measure comparing performance in the water sector across countries in a holistic way that brings in the diverse aspects and issues that are relevant. It does seem to give some sensible results but it does not pretend to be definitive nor offer a totally accurate measure of the situation.

本水贫困指数（Water Poverty Index）是一项初步探索，旨在建立一套国际性评价指标体系，以整体性视角涵盖各类相关维度与议题，对全球各国水务领域的表现开展跨国家横向比较。该指数虽已生成较为合理的测算结果，但并未宣称自身具备绝对权威性，亦不承诺可完全精准地反映当前的水资源现状。
