Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop the water related evaluation index (water index) for entering the global water industry, And to apply it exploratively. The selection process of the water industry index was conducted by examining the domestic and overseas general water indexes, and the index items of the index were arranged and the characteristics of each component were identified. The theoretical background of the existing index of water index was established through the theoretical review of the existing index, and the index was defined by classifying the water resources industry into three types of integrated river basin development industry, water and sewage industry, and alternative water resources industry. As a result of comparing the water industry indices by continents and countries, the countries of Africa and the Asian continent, which are mostly populated by developing countries and poor countries, were generally highly estimated. On the other hand, it was found that vulnerable countries were not selected only by the continent or the natural environment of the country, and it was necessary to be considered in connection with issues such as social environment and natural disasters. The development of the water industry index for the entry into the global water resource industry will contribute to establishing the entry strategy through objective evaluation of the target country when Korean companies intend to advance into the overseas water resource industry in the future.
