Adopting a systematic approach to water reduction can typically result in around 30% water savings if no measures have previously been implemented.
A water balance is a management tool that provides managers with an overview of the major uses of water on their company’s site, irrespective of the company’s activity. When used to control water use and effluent generation, a water balance can help companies and organisations of all sizes and types to reduce water use, cut costs and increase profits.
This guide describes a six-step procedure for constructing a water balance and explains how this can help you to identify water and cost saving opportunities.
Checklists and worksheets are provided to help you investigate your water use and effluent sources. Examples of cost savings already achieved by companies are given throughout the guide.
