Water Audit - Allegiance Water Management
A water audit is a systematic process that objectively calculates water balance, water use, and identifies ways to save water. It involves both a preliminary water survey and a detailed water audit. Let’s delve into the details:
Preliminary Water Survey:
During this phase, information about plant activities, water consumption, and water discharge patterns is collected. It sets the foundation for the subsequent detailed water audit.
The preliminary survey helps assess the existing water management practices and identify areas for improvement.
Detailed Water Audit:
The detailed water audit is a comprehensive assessment that goes beyond the preliminary survey.
It involves a thorough examination of water usage patterns, including both inflow (water supply) and outflow (discharge).
Key components of the detailed water audit include:
Water Balance: Calculating the overall water balance by comparing water inflow (supply) with outflow (consumption and discharge).
Losses and Leaks: Identifying losses due to leakage, poor metering, and accounting discrepancies.
Efficiency Measures: Recommending strategies to reduce water consumption and improve efficiency.
Cost Analysis: Evaluating the financial impact of water usage and potential savings.
Environmental Impact: Assessing the environmental consequences of water consumption.
Utility Reporting: Supporting mandatory and elective utility and carbon reporting schemes.
Water Recharge: Exploring opportunities for groundwater recharge and sustainable water management.
Benefits of Water Audits:
Financial Savings: By minimizing water losses and optimizing consumption, businesses can reduce costs associated with water bills.
Resource Efficiency: Efficient water management contributes to environmental sustainability.
Compliance: Water audits support compliance with reporting requirements and regulations.
Risk Mitigation: Addressing leaks and inefficiencies reduces operational risks.
