There is a real need in the world to preserve water. This is because
demand is about to exceed the supply and the costs to produce safe
water are only increasing. Moreover, the population tends to
concentrate in certain areas where there isn’t enough water available
to support such large numbers, along with the industry. Also, keep in
mind that only about 1% of the water on earth is actually fresh.

By increasing water efficiency, you are reducing the waste as you
measure all that is needed for your business purposes. You don’t have
to restrict the use, this is a different approach that we are going
to discuss. Businesses can and should focus on both potable and
non-potable water. An economical approach when it comes to resource
management represents one of the links of successful profit chains.
The systems and technologies that manufacturers have to rely on are
more complex than the residential water solutions. Also, the
assessment process is more complicated. The number one priority is
identifying any leakage or faulty fixture. Once this was addressed,
proceed to finding the inefficient processes – for example non-stop
industrial spraying, that may cover more than is needed. This is the
easiest part and doesn’t require any new installations.
If you can’t avoid wasting water, do not fret. It is possible to
reuse what is wasted, as you’ll see below. Establish a water
management plan and regularly check what the metres show. You can
choose water efficient products instead of restricting the use. Have
a look at landscape watering, toilets and taps and so on. The washing
processes are also important and can be tweaked as well. If
your business is using washing machines or dishwashers, always opt
for full loads to make it economical.
If you are using plant equipment, you may have to change that and
bring new machinery in.
Furthermore, all fire hydrants must be tamper proof and taps must be
provided with aerators. You may replace these with low-flow versions
when appropriate. Newer technology will save more than outdated,
leaky and worn-out installations. Additionally, reduce the space that
needs to be heated or cooled, also opting for economical cooling
equipment.
Companies can learn a lot from hotels, which have been focused
intensely on reducing water usage. These are even capable of
decreasing water consumption by 50%. Grey water systems return waste
water, treat it and use it for flushing toilets. This is expensive
though, as you will be required to instal additional pipes and treat
the water chemically. Retrofitting these systems, however, works for
hotels and might work for your business, too.
A water audit will help you figure out where the big costs are and
which is the best way to start saving on your business
water usage. Check the available government
funds – it happens that governments these days support water saving
and will make it easier for companies to acquire modern equipment.
Saving and reusing water will still enable you to keep the same level
of service, but with less of a wastage.
