system, since with its power of choice it can prioritize the purchase of certain brands
or products with better environmental performance.
To measure the sensitivity to climate change and therefore evaluate impacts and
vulnerability of systems related to the urban water cycle. This is possible because the
green component of the WF indicator is linked to the geographical area of study and
to a given time period, which makes it possible to determine the most appropriate
species for the amount of water resource available in that area and at any given time,
and by incorporating future local climate data obtained by projecting changes in the
climate for different gas emission scenarios.
Include the evaluation of the quality of the outside environment, analyzing other
parameters such as temperature, humidity, sunshine, sound levels and other atmospheric pollutants to estimate the improvements in environmental comfort produced
by the implementation of water-sensitive solutions in urban space.
To transfer the concept of WF to that of EMergy Synthesis defined by Odum [58–
60] which will mean the transition from Environmental Economics to Ecological
Economics allowing the evaluation of economic and natural systems, as well as the
interactions between both with a common methodology.
