The “water positive” goes beyond the concept of net-zero water usage. It aims to return more water to freshwater sources than is withdrawn. Being water positive involves actively contributing to water conservation and replenishment.
Companies and organizations that adopt water-positive practices take steps to minimize their water footprint and actively replenish water resources. This commitment helps address environmental and climate concerns related to water scarcity and quality
Water audit is a systematic process of objectively obtaining a water balance by measuring flow
of water from the site of water withdrawal or treatment, through the distribution system, and into
areas where it is used and finally discharged. Conducting a water audit involves calculating
water balance, water use and identifying ways for saving water.
Water audit involves preliminary water survey and detailed water audit. Preliminary water
survey is conducted to collect background information regarding plant activities, water
consumption and water discharge pattern and water billing, rates and water cess. After the
analysis of the secondary data collected from the industry, detailed water audit is conducted,
which involves the following steps:
On site training and discussion with facility manager and personnel
Water system analysis
Quantification of baseline water map
Monitoring and measurements using pressure and flow meters and various other devices
Quantification of inefficiencies and leaks
Quantification of water quality loads and discharges
Quantification of variability in flows and quality parameters
Strategies for water treatment and reuse or direct use
A detailed water balance is finally developed. Water quality requirement at various user areas is
mapped, which helps in developing „recycle‟ and „reuse‟ opportunities.
The detailed water audit report contains the following:
Water consumption and wastewater generation pattern
Specific water use and conservation
Complete water balance of the facility
Water saving opportunities
Method of implementing the proposals
Full description and figures
Investment required
Industries can undertake following measures for water conservation:
Setting up of norms for water budgeting
Modernization of industrial process to reduce water consumption
Recycling water with a re-circulating cooling system
Ozonation cooling water approach which can result in five fold reduction in blow down
when compared to traditional chemical treatment
Reduction in reuse of de-ionized water by eliminating some plenum flushes, converting
from a continuous flow to an intermittent flow system and improving control on the use
Use of wastewater for use of gardening
Proper processing of effluents to adhere to the norms of disposal.
CGWA Clearance
Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) . Statement indicating position of pending cases received for NOC for ground water withdrawal. Statement showing list of project proposals to whom NOC for ground water withdrawal has been issued.
The annual replenishable ground water resources availability plays an important role in defining the guidelines. The latest assessment of the state wise ground water resources as on 31.03.2009 is available at the Central Ground Water Board . As per the ground water resource estimates of 2009, out of the 5842 assessment units (Blocks, Mandals, Talukas, districts), 802 over-exploited units, 169 critical units, 523 semi-critical units, 4277 safe units and 71 saline units have been identified across the country by Central Ground Water Board. The Annual replenishable ground water resources have been estimated as 431 Billion Cubic Meters (bcm). The Net Ground Water Availability is 396 bcm and the overall stage of ground water development of the country is 61%.
Therefore, prior permission/NOC from CGWA has to be obtained before construction of any Groundwater abstraction structure viz. Tube wells, Bore wells, Dug wells etc.
Allegiance can offers its client the following services:
Examining the area of the groundwater against availability
Water requirement
Availability of aquifer
A Shallow aquifer
B Deeper aquifer
Status of the groundwater development of the area
Preparation of proposal for augmentation of groundwater abstraction
Preparation and implementation of water conservation measures
