This element of One-2-Five® Water evaluates an organizations level of understanding of current water performance and the opportunities available from improving current practice. Organizations wishing to be effective in their water management practices need a base-line measure of existing water performance.
This is essential to:
-
Understand the importance of water costs in operations
-
Enhance an organizations competitive position
It is also necessary information to enable an organization to:
-
Prioritize actions
-
Establish a basis for future comparison
Initial estimates of the scale of savings opportunities may come from benchmarking against other similar operations and/or through detailed technical evaluation of processes and quantification of identified savings projects.
The ‘Understanding Performance and Opportunities’ element also examines the business risks associated with water use, particularly with regard to the environmental impacts such as wastewater discharges and compliance with wastewater regulations.
