Grey water footprint
Dear Vidhya, have you considered applying the grey water footprint as an indicator of water pollution? The grey water footprint measures the volume of water required to assimilate the load of chemicals added to the water in a basin as a result of human activities. The grey water footprint in a basin can then be compared with the assimilation capacity in a river basin to estimate the water pollution level. See for all details the Water Footprint Assessment Manual: http://www.waterfootprint.org/?page=files/WaterFootprintAssessmentManual. Warm regards, Arjen
