Scholars and practitioners have been working on methodologies to measure water security at a variety of scale and focus. In this paper, we critically examine the landscape of water security metrics, discussing the progress and gaps of this rich scholarship. We reviewed a total of 107 publications consisting of 17 conceptual papers and 90 methodological papers that propose 80 metrics to measure water security and observed that there are two dominant research clusters in this field: experiential scale‐based metrics and resource‐based metrics. The former mainly focus on measuring the water experiences of households and its impact on human well‐being, while the majority of the latter assess freshwater availability or water resources security. We compare their approaches and the arguments used to develop them. We posit that the more local the scale and the more specific the water domain, the more meaningful results that the metrics can provide. Acknowledging the interrelationship between different water domains (e.g., water resources and water hazards) is important, but their aggregation for measurement may be problematic. We offer our views on future work in this field relating to topics beyond water, the need to conduct validation tests, and collaboration among academics and with other stakeholders.

评估80种评估水安全的评估工具

学者和从业人员一直在研究在各种规模和重点上衡量水安全的方法。在本文中，我们批判性地研究了水安全指标的概况，讨论了这一丰富的学术研究的进展和差距。我们审查了107篇出版物，其中包括17篇概念性论文和90篇方法论论文，其中提出了80种衡量水安全的指标，并观察到该领域有两个主要的研究领域：基于经验规模的指标和基于资源的指标。前者主要侧重于衡量家庭的用水经验及其对人类福祉的影响，而后者大多数则评估淡水供应或水资源安全。我们比较了它们的方法和用于开发它们的论据。我们认为规模越局部，水域越具体，指标可以提供的结果就越有意义。承认不同水域（例如水资源和水害）之间的相互关系很重要，但是将其汇总以进行测量可能会出现问题。我们提供有关该领域未来工作的观点，涉及水以外的主题，进行验证测试的必要性以及学者之间以及与其他利益相关者之间的合作。
