Water is vital to sustaining life. It is the only utility for which there is no alternative and so the effective and efficient management of this precious resource is paramount.
Population growth along with climate change and ageing infrastructure are among the issues that need to be considered now if the infrastructure is to be capable of delivering the required resources and service levels in the future. |
The Water Industry impacts on the environment in three main ways:
|
The Water Industry is one of the largest energy intensive industries.
Pumping and water treatment help to make power costs one of, if not the highest operating cost, as well as contributor to the carbon footprint. Energy Management along with timely maintenance are essential components of energy efficiency, along with the design and operation of the water distribution system. |
Decisions taken at all stages of the asset lifecycle will affect the need for manual intervention.
By integrating operational impact within all decision making, including design, inefficient and reactive manpower requirements (along with the environmental impact of those activities) can be reduced and focus on planned activities to improve condition, risk and performance increased. |
