The 2016 report focusses on employment related to water, and the necessity of effective and sustainable management of the resource to ensure these jobs persist. The report discusses the main sources of employment that require water to be agriculture, forestry, fisheries, energy, resource-intensive manufacturing, recycling, building and transport. These sectors combined employee half of the global workforce, and thus adequate water management is critical. To ensure proper management, coordinated policies and investments are considered to be the most effective strategy.
