15. Sustainable water resources management - The percentage of water resource zones meeting target headroom requirements (ENV)
Water companies base their forecasts of water supply and demand on water resource zones. To account for future uncertainties, an additional amount of water is included in the assessment of the supply demand balance. This 'additional' amount of water is called 'Target Headroom'. To meet target headroom the actual amount of available water supply has to be equal to or more than the sum of the forecast demand and target headroom. Where this is not the case, water companies will develop and plan options to increase water supply and/or reduce demand for water.
