Water Management

Why Conserve Water? Water is essential to life and work. It is a finite commodity that cannot be taken for granted. As the world's population increases greater pressures are put on this vital resource. It is unlikely the supply of water will be increased and therefore the only alternative is to conserve and reuse the existing supplies. In many parts of Australia water restrictions either are currently in force or existed in the past 10 years. This is likely to increase. Although water is a critical resource it generally is a small part of the budget and only becomes an issue in times of drought.

What Opportunities Exist?

The opportunity to reduce operating costs exists by;

• Optimising water consumption.
• Minimising waste through leaks, evaporation, losses, and operational inefficiencies.
• Reusing water though internal recycling or onsite treatment.
• Onsite harvesting of rain water.
• Each of the above can also reduce operating costs through; 1) heat recovery and / or reduction of heat losses; 2) Reduction in chemical usage; and 3) reduction in trade discharges to sewer.
