Watermark Calculation
At Environmental Dimension Company, we offer a water footprint calculation service for facilities and projects. This service measures and analyzes direct and indirect water consumption within industrial, service, or agricultural operations. It helps in understanding how water is used at various stages of operation, identifying opportunities to reduce waste and improve efficiency, thus supporting water sustainability and lowering environmental and operational costs.
What is a watermark?
The water footprint is an indicator that shows the amount of water used directly or in the production of materials and energy at a particular facility or for a specific product. This measurement allows us to identify the most water-intensive activities and opportunities for conservation and improvement.
Objectives of the watermark calculation service
- Measuring water consumption systematically and reliably.
- Identify the processes or departments with the highest water consumption within the facility.
- Discovering the sources of waste, leakage, and water loss in the system.
- Developing solutions and strategies to improve water use efficiency and reduce unnecessary consumption.
- Supporting sustainability and environmental responsibility reports and improving the organization's image with stakeholders.
Methodology for calculating the water footprint
1. Gathering basic data and information
Identifying water consumption points within the facility, collecting data on withdrawal quantities from the source, meter data, operating records, and quantities of wastewater and reuse.
2. Analysis of water flow within the facility
Prepare a water flow map showing where the water comes from, how it is used in each process, and where it goes after use (product, drain, reuse, etc.).
3. Calculating consumption and water footprints
Collect the data and calculate the quantities of water consumed for each production line, department, or process, then calculate the total water footprint of the facility during the selected period (usually one year).
4. Identifying opportunities for rationalization and improvement
Analyze the results to identify high-consumption activities or equipment, and explore opportunities to reduce losses such as repairing leaks, modifying washing or cooling systems, and expanding the reuse of treated water.
5. Develop an improved water management plans
Propose a set of practical short- and medium-term measures to improve water use efficiency, with an initial assessment of the impact of each measure on reducing consumption and costs.
Preparing the full report
Issue a detailed report explaining the methodology, data and results, including graphs and tables, the proposed rationalization plan, and an easy-to-understand executive summary for senior management.
Service Outputs
- A report on calculating the water footprint of the facility over a specific period.
- Tables and diagrams showing the distribution of water consumption across different processes.
- Water flow map within the facility (from source to drainage or reuse).
- A list of the most significant points of waste and areas of inefficiency.
- A proposed plan to improve water management and rationalize consumption.
- An executive summary outlining the current situation and proposed improvement goals.
Service benefits for establishments
- Reduce water consumption and lower billing and treatment costs.
- Improving operational efficiency and reducing breakdowns associated with water systems.
- Supporting compliance with the requirements of systems and initiatives related to water sustainability.
- Enhancing the organization's image as an entity that cares about natural resources and environmental responsibility.
- Providing reliable data that can be used in expansion studies or equipment and system upgrades.
