Actualy poverty index is a tool to help design water management for the community. It is primarily designed for use at the community level to enable more holistic water-resource assessments on a site-specific basis. It can however be applied at different scales to suit different needs. One of the motivations to design such a tool is also an attempt to move away from the conventional, purely deterministic, approaches to water assessment, relying primarily on models and large-scale data. So, yes water poverty is needed to measure to plan better and understand the scope of work.
