Why Save Water ?

Water is a precious natural resource. Most people could not survive without fresh water for more than seven days. Although 80% of the worlds surface is covered in water only 1% of this total is fresh water.

Demand for fresh water is increasing and is expected to do so for the foreseeable future. It is predicted that by 2025 two-thirds of the world’s population will face water shortages.

Reducing water wastage and promoting greater water efficiency will help safeguard supplies and will have wider positive environmental impacts in terms of reducing the amount of energy needed to treat and supply water.

There are clear business arguments for treating water management with the same priority as the management of other energy resources, such as gas and electricity. Undetected water leaks and inefficient use of water resources are common place. Use of a reliable leak warning system coupled with an effective water consumption management programme can save organisations considerable sums of money.
