When it comes to sustainability, water is one of the most precious resources to protect. The water footprint is an indicator that helps us understand how much water is consumed not only through direct use, such as showering, washing, and cooking, but also in hidden ways, such as producing the food we buy and the goods we use. In other words, the water footprint allows us to gain greater awareness of the impact of our daily activities on the environment.
For this reason, the European Life Svolta Blu project has developed a water footprint calculator designed specifically for families. This simple and intuitive tool, through clear questions about lifestyle and household consumption, provides an estimate of a family’s water footprint and offers useful insights for understanding where waste can be reduced and more sustainable behaviors can be adopted.
Using the calculator means becoming aware of your consumption and making small, concrete changes to protect a fundamental resource like water.

The primary objective of the Life Svolta Blu project is to promote sustainable water management through an innovative blue credit system, which rewards companies and citizens who reduce consumption or invest in water conservation, creating a local market for exchanging these “credits.” The water footprint calculator was developed as part of the project’s environmental education activities to raise consumer awareness about reducing their household water footprint, with the ultimate goal of achieving a balance between water use and regeneration for future generations.
