Companies are facing the reality that California’s droughts are increasing in frequency. In the past 13 years, we’ve experienced three major multi-year droughts, and the outlook suggests this trend will continue. Of the 58 counties in California, 50 have already been declared in a ‘drought emergency’ this year.
Don’t let the drought impact your business! The impact on any business or company that uses high volumes of water is rapidly escalating. Yet surprisingly, water is often the most misused resource within companies – and many don’t realize all the “hidden costs” in their processes.
Fact: Companies often underestimate their water consumption. It takes…
- Between 180 and 328 gallons of water to produce a 2-liter bottle of soda!
- 20 gallons of water to make a pint of beer!
- Nearly 37 gallons of water to produce the ingredients to make a single cup of coffee!
That’s a lot of water going down the drain in our State. With mandated usage restrictions, it makes sense to evaluate your water management practices – and look for opportunities to dramatically improve efficiencies.
Every business that uses water should be proactive about implementing water management practices. Because water management is everybody’s business.
Effective water treatment technologies can reduce usage by up to 50%, and enable companies to recycle and reuse up to 75% of wastewater.
