The CEBDS 2014 work plan calls for the adaptation of the Acqua Gauge, a tool focused on better water resource management. Developed by CERES, a business network founded in 1989, the tool seeks to provide information that support business strategies and decisions related to water resources, starting with the comparison with the best global business practices. The adaptation of the tool for Brazil calls for determining the best practices in the country in order to identify the best results to be obtained with this tool. The experience of the adaptation of the two tools is reported in a publication to be launched in 2015 at the World Water Forum in South Korea.
