Reducing water consumption and making a facility more efficient starts with an essential tool: the water audit.

What is a water audit?

It is a detailed assessment of water use in a home, company or industrial facility. Its purpose is to identify waste, leaks and improvement opportunities, proposing concrete solutions to reduce costs.

How is it carried out?

The process includes data collection, technical inspection, consumption analysis, inefficiency identification and an action plan. Recommendations may include efficient equipment, water-saving devices and training for good practices.

Advantages

A water audit helps reduce costs, achieve significant savings, reuse rainwater and greywater, contribute to sustainability and improve corporate image.

Practical example

A company consuming 20 million litres per year that reduces consumption by 30% after an audit saves 6 million litres annually.
