At the World Economic Forum in Davos this year, experts named water risk as one of the top four risks facing business in the twenty-first century. Similarly, 53% of companies surveyed by the Carbon Disclosure Project reported that water risks are already taking a toll, owing to property damage, higher prices, poor water quality, business interruptions, and supply-chain disruptions.
企业开始意识到日渐增加的水可能对经营和利润带来的风险——有的是太多，有的是太少。在本年度的达沃斯世界经济论坛上，专家将水风险列为21世纪企业面临的四大风险之一。类似地，据碳披露项目（Carbon Disclosure Project ）的调查，53%的公司表示水风险已经在起作用，带来了资产损失、价格升高、水质下降、业务停顿和供应链破坏。
