The degradation of soil due the desertification caused by climate change, droughts, heatwaves, fires and the abandonment of rural land and therefore water conservation structures caused by the previous aspects may lead to a lack of herbaceous/woody fuel for biomass generation facilities. The biomass plant identified in this river basin generated 98 GWh in 2015. Due to the causes previously explained, ACCIONA estimates that around 10%-20% of the herbaceous and woody fuel supply would be affected, and around the same range of the energy generation. | >6 years | Probable | Medium | Supplier diversification | The cost of having a high diversity of suppliers is the management thereof, via a supplier management tool. The share of the cost of this tool attributable to biomass suppliers is around €1,000 per year. | ACCIONA has more than 100 contracts with herbaceous and woody suppliers; most of them long term, to prevent the scarcity of supply. Cost estimate is based on the proportional cost of maintenance of the ACCIONA´s supplier management tool, due to biomass suppliersThe biomass plants use both herbaceous and wood waste, both unusable for any other purpose. The ashes obtained from the process are used as fertilizer for the crops from which the organic material is gathered, thus contributing to generate new raw material. |

In the northern regions of SA, the dry winter rainfall region is expected to become drier. If water becomes scarcer, this may lead to an increase in operational costs as more supply will be required from municipality. | 4-6 years | Probable | Low-medium | Establish site-specific targets | Green gauge programme - water initiatives were implemented at manufacturing (small, medium and large facilities) to reduce water consumption. For example, the Speciality Minerals facility switched from using municipal potable water to using recycled water from another organisation resulting in reduced cost. | AECI is currently looking at ways to decrease dependency on water supplied from other sources. Through AECI's Green Gauge programme, water has been identified as a potential climate risk that AECI will need to address going forward. Water Conservation and Demand Management assessments have been conducted at 15 prioritised sites in order to quantify and understand the business risks related to water. The assessments have allowed the sites to identify potential areas of saving, re-use and recycling in order to reduce water demand and enhance water conservation. Specific targets for reduced consumption have been set at the 15 sites assessed. It is anticipated that the assessments and targets will aid in enhanced water management and monitoring on AECI sites. AECI has spent more than R4m on initiatives relating to Green Gauge. |

| 45 | 689 | American Electric Power Company, Inc. | USA | Water | 2016 | Public | Electric Utilities & Independent Power Producers & Energy Traders (including fossil, alternative and nuclear energy) | Utilities | United States of America | Mississippi River | Physical-Inadequate infrastructure | Higher operating costs | More than half of the operational lock chambers run by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on inland waterways are over 50 years old. AEP relies on barges to deliver coal. Increasing maintenance on this system has affected our ability to deliver coal to our power plants on time. For example, coal delivery costs increased $1.7 million as a result of failure of just one facility in 2010. | Current-up to 1 year | Probable | High | Infrastructure investment | Unknown but high (millions of dollars) | The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which maintains and operates the inland waterways, recognizes the problem, but has not received adequate funding from Congress to address it. AEP supports the Water Resource and Reform Development Act of 2014, which required the Corps, working with the Inland Waterway Users Board, to draft a new 20-year Capital Development Plan. This plan, which is now called the Capital Investment Strategy, was completed and reviewed by the Assistant Secretary of the Army and the Office of Management and Budget for approval/revisions. AEP anticipates that infrastructure projects should be started and completed within the next 7-9 years. AEP also works with the American Waterway Operators group, an industry lobbying group which represents our interests. |
| 46 | 689 | American Electric Power Company, Inc. | USA | Water | 2016 | Public | Electric Utilities & Independent Power Producers & Energy Traders (including fossil, alternative and nuclear energy) | Utilities | United States of America | Mississippi River | Other: Constraint to future growth. | The development of shale gas has made natural gas an economically viable fuel source for AEP generating units; however, the drilling of these gas wells requires large amounts of water. During these operations, there is a risk of contaminating local underground sources of drinking water. Improper discharge of waste waters can also negatively impact surrounding surface waters. As a result, regulators are considering restrictions, which would lead to increased costs for this important fuel source. | 1-3 years | Probable | High | Supplier diversification | unknown | AEP is transitioning its generation fleet to take advantage of the benefits of shale gas; however, it will maintain a balanced portfolio that utilizes several energy sources, including coal, gas, renewables, energy efficiency, nuclear, solar and hydro. Maintaining a balanced generation portfolio helps to minimize the impacts of a changing energy infrastructure. If shale gas development is slowed, it could affect the electric sector's reliance on gas and create price volatility for customers and potentially affect system reliability. | |

A significant El Nino or La Nina event could impact agricultural productivity. For example, if an extreme drought limited the quantity of corn and/or soybeans available in the US, the price of raw materials would increase, transportation via river could become difficult, and operations could be limited or halted. | Current-up to 1 year | Unlikely | Medium | Supplier diversification | Integrated into business plan. | The geographic diversity of ADM's operations lowers risk. In-house commodity economics group analyzes global supply and demand to predict price fluctuations. ADM's transportation network spans multiple methods of transport allowing alternative movement of commodities if, for example, drought causes rivers to be impassable by barge. |

Large scale droughts have made it difficult to procure previously-available volumes of oranges grown in the Colorado river basin. | Current-up to 1 year | Highly probable | Medium-high | Supplier diversification | Supplier diversification requires detailed information gathering and analysis, but since this is part of everyday work, no additional costs are incurred. | The Asahi Group has long sought to diversify sources of supply to avoid disruption to operations or excessive increases in operating costs caused by shortages of raw materials. We strive to avert such operational impact by responding swiftly when natural disasters such as drought and flooding affect the availability, quality, or price of the agricultural produce we purchase. We incorporate expenses required for detailed information-gathering and analysis into regular operating costs and conduct continual analysis and evaluation to ensure that changes in suppliers do not affect operating income. To avoid or reduce such risk, the Asahi Group operates a global business model for procurement of agricultural produce, building flexible business relationships enabling us to purchase from suppliers in several regions. |

Description
CDP's water program motivates companies to disclose and reduce their environmental impacts by using the power of investors and customers. The data CDP collects help influential decision makers to reduce risk, capitalize on opportunities and drive action towards a more sustainable world. This dataset comes from question W3.2d asking companies to list the inherent water risks that could generate a substantive change in their business, operations, revenue or expenditure, the potential impact to their supply chain and the strategies to mitigate them.
