Water replenished in the basin of extraction
Measurement answer
What this metric measures
Volume of water replenished through replenishment programmes in the same basin where the organization has extracted, or is extracting, water in direct operations.

Formula
V_replenished = Σ v_i, where each v_i is a volume of water replenished through a replenishment programme in the basin where extraction has occurred or is occurring.Apply the source-defined TNFD sector-guidance method within the stated reporting boundary. Published as a standalone direct-operations water outcome metric. The candidate expressly defines the unit, the same-basin geographic condition, the replenishment-programme basis and direct-operations boundary. It is not an exact match to the shortlisted water-replenished metric because that metric requires a structured split between total replenishment and replenishment in water-scarce areas, which is not specified here.
Variables
| Symbol | Variable | Definition | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
V_replenished | Water replenished | Total volume of water replenished in the basin where extraction has occurred or is occurring through replenishment programmes. | m³ |
v_i | Eligible replenishment volume | Volume attributed to an individual replenishment programme that meets the same-basin condition. | m³ |

Evidence and status sources
Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Source-edition basis: TNFD sector guidance, Final English sector guidance collection through August 2026 (17 documents).
- Identify the basin in which extraction has occurred or is occurring.
- Describe the replenishment programme(s) included in the reported volume.
- Disclose the basis used to quantify water replenished and prevent inclusion of replenishment outside the extraction basin.
Record-specific limitations
- Does not measure water withdrawal, consumption, discharge or net basin water balance.
- Does not establish replenishment performance outside the basin of extraction.
- The extracted evidence does not specify an annual reporting cadence, replenishment eligibility criteria, or a water-scarcity sub-total.
Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.
Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
