Abstract
The toolkit presents a process to address water risks, including long-term water stresses and sudden shocks that can jeopardize the health and livelihoods of vulnerable populations. The document provides guidance on how to conduct a water security assessment, which involves six tasks: confirming the water security improvement space, reviewing existing information, conducting additional studies, sharing findings and seeking feedback, revising the water security improvement space as needed, and finalizing and sharing the assessment. The assessment involves examining the physical status of water, the management setting, and risks to water security.
