There is a clear need to better articulate and capture the full value of changes in the condition of the water environment. To do so, first, there is a need to understand what aspects of water we want to value. Not everybody is looking at the same aspects, some users/practitioners are interested in changes in water body status, other to individual changes in the water components, other to the change in water quantity, and changes in the provisioning services of the water environment. To have a complete picture of what changes in water environment we are after, a better understanding of the users' needs is required: - Who are the users, practitioners? - What question each of them are trying answer now and in the near future?
