The figure shows water use intensity of the manufacturing sector, shown as m³ of water used per 1,000 PPS (Purchasing Power Standard)

Units

m³ per 1,000 PPS

Methodology

Water intensity of manufacturing production is calculated as the ratio of the volume of water consumed by the manufacturing sector per Member State and the net value added of manufacturing production, expressed in the Purchasing Power Standard (PPS), which adjusts values in national currency to a common unit considering purchasing power in every country. Net value added is computed as gross value-added excluding consumption of fixed capital, all expressed in chain-linked volumes (2010).
