Recycling rainwater or leaving unplayed areas untouched are examples of ways to save water and reduce golfs’ water footprint
While not the greenest sport on the planet, golf’s ecological footprint has for a few years been steadily declining, with some courses even going as far as adopting an all-out green approach.
A prime example of just how eco-friendly this sport can be is the Vittel Ermitage golf course, in the Western Vosges region of France. Thanks to Nestlé Waters’ French branch, Agrivair, ecosystem protection and enhancement were taken, inclunding zero-pesticide measures. The result? It is presently not rare to spot deer in the woody parts of the course, or for low-lying areas to be flooded during winter.

Access to safe and clean drinking water and sanitation is a universal human right and central to human wellbeing and development. From presently on 780 million people still receive drinking water from unimproved sources and 2.5 billion people continue to live without access to improved sanitation facilities. IDS' work on water and sanitation has been looking at what additional needs to be done, particularly through a new set of post 2015 development goals, to ensure that this right is enjoyed by amount.
