The concept of the water poverty index evolved from work on water resource assessment at the global scale, such as that by Meigh et al. (1999). The present article summarizes the methodology selected on the basis of research into possible theoretical approaches (Sullivan, 2001, 2002).
The Water Poverty Index (WPI) is a mathematical data-driven tool for gauging the degree of water-related poverty in a community, region, or country.
The index was developed as a holistic tool to measure water stress at the household and community levels, designed to aid national decision makers, at community and central government level, as well as donor agencies, to determine priority needs for interventions in the water sector.

1 Ιουλ 2002 · This paper provides discussion of ways in which an interdisciplinary approach can be taken to produce an integrated assessment of water stress and scarcity, linking physical estimates of water availability with socioeconomic variables that reflect poverty, i.e., a Water Poverty Index.
5 Νοε 2002 · The purpose of the Water Poverty Index is to express an interdisciplinary measure which links household welfare with water availability and indicates the degree to which water scarcity impacts on human populations.
1 Ιουλ 2021 · Impacts of the Water Poverty Index (WPI) on the Human Development Index (HDI) are examined. Importance of each component of the indices and the type of relationship between them are explored. Strategic approaches are developed based on the five components of the WPI.
